The Giraffe Neck

My invention is for when something is up high, and you need to see it. There is a camera in it, and you can take photos to see if it's important or not important. So if you lose something, it could be up there.

See this brought to life!

Wow, Milena, what a super idea! 🌟 The Giraffe Neck sounds like a marvellous invention for reaching those tricky high spots where things might hide. I love the idea of having a camera to capture photos of high places to check if something important is lost up there. Have you thought about how the camera might be controlled - maybe with a remote or even voice commands? Keep dreaming and inventing—you've got a fantastic imagination! 📸

3D Printing!

Posted 3 weeks ago by Ascent Aerospace

Hi Milena! We are finished with your project and are excited to meet you tomorrow! I did want to share some awesome video feeds with you that show your design being 3D printed! We worked with two, 3D printers, one of them at our facility and the other one owned and operated by our employee, Justin, who worked diligently at work and at home to make sure your design was printed. The printing took a total of 92 hours. That is over 3 days long, almost 4 full days!

Hi Milena! Here are pictures of the drafts we had shown you on our call. Zach, the engineer working on the Design, used CATIA, a CAD (computer aided design) tool to create the 3-D model for your invention. We are amazed by your ingenuity and imagination and can't wait to finish your invention! More to come :)
