Objective Our objective was to build a bookshelf for
Ms. Dal Ben that could hold her entire class set of novels.
Final Product
Guitar RackAlex Gong, Ashley Bearden, Kevin Le,

Concept The concept of the guitar rack was to hold
multiple guitars in an ordered fashion. We designed the rack to hold at least 20 guitars.
While building this guitar rack we also learn about the values of teamwork and overcoming the difficulties that play a part in putting PVC pipes together. Fin.
Ideas We discussed ideas such as a guitar rack made
of PVC, a storage cabinet, made out of wood, or a guitar rack, made out of wood.
After discussing these ideas, we came to a conclusion that the Guitar Rack made out of PVC would be the most practical, lightest, and most cost efficient solution to the storage problem the Band Room is dealing with.
Supplies 1” PVC Pipe PVC Glue PVC Elbows PVC Tee’s Insulators Hot Glue 18 PVC Caps
Construction1. Draw the guitar rack to match the specifications.2. Draw the guitar rack on CADD.3. Buy all the materials.4. Measure and cut the PVC pipe to length.5. Assemble all the pieces. 6. Begin gluing the PVC to the elbows and the Tees, making
sure we reconstruct in the same manner as first constructed.
7. Repeat for the second guitar rack.8. Cut the insulators and attach using hot glue. 9. Deliver to Band room.10. Be praised.

EPICS Project: PG ART
Vivian Su and Celene Udasco
Problem Description Students taking Art 2 and AP Art utilize the
ceramics lab, due to overcrowding. The supplies are readily available to art students because they are in a ceramics lab.
Objective To build tools that make the shared
classrooms more usable to all art students. The first project is to construct a chalkboard for Mr. Tosta so that he has his own board space to better demonstrate art concepts.
Final Product
Guillotine We are making a model of a guillotine that
can be used by the History department at our school when they teach about the French Revolution.

Step 1 Make Measurements
Step 2 Square the board to
the exact measurements that we need
Step 3 Sand the board to
clean up the edges and make it look nicer.
Step 4 After all the
measurements and cuts are made, start screwing the pieces together.
Step 5 Fill in any
unnecessary gaps with the wood putty
Step 6 Stain the
bookcase to make it look more professional.
Step 7 Clear coat the bookcase.
Step 8 Put the masonite on
the back and do an overall check on the bookcase for any final mistakes.
Step 9 Contact Fathers and
Families to have them come pick the bookcase up.
Step 10 Help them load the
bookcase into the car and now we are done.
EPICS Project: Beaker Backing
Tyler Moore
Brandon Perry
Carlos Villasenor
Project Overview Our group made a wooden backing for two
test beakers that Ms. Higgins uses for her labs. It provides a sturdy storage component to protect the beakers, as they are very fragile and expensive. During some labs, she will not be able to touch the beakers, so it also serves as a holder for the beakers to be presented safely.
How it Helped This project helped Ms. Higgins because it
directly benefits her labs that she presents to her classes. It provides her with a backing for her beakers that make her labs more presentable and entertaining.
