Often times teachers are writing on the board, presenting something, or working with another student. This takes away visual contact with the classroom. Teachers need eyes in the back of their head to have visual access to all students in the classroom while working on another task.  ]]> 2019-10-03 00:47:21 UTC https://padlet.com/hali_wright861/6w12eyd12cll/wish/392790563 hali_wright861 https://padlet.com/hali_wright861/6w12eyd12cll/wish/392791691 The Eastern Eyed Beetle can be found in the Southeastern United States. The Beetle has two black eyes on the top of their head. The placement of the eyes allows the beetle to see full circle around the head, basically have "eyes in the back of the head." The Eastern Eyed Beetle gets it names from the ability to "snap" their spine under its thorax causing a clicking sound.  The beetle uses this technique to flip over when on their back. When they click they can fly anywhere from 4 to 6ft in the air. The beetle is covered in minute scales which function well for protective coloration. The scales allow the beetle to hide from predators.

The eyes are place on the top of their head allow them to see all around them. As teachers we could use eyes in the back of our head to monitor our classroom effectively. We could design sunglasses with mirrors attached 
-The Eastern Eyed Beetle uses their spine and thorax to flip over if placed on their back. We could design a backpack for the elderly that would allow them to get back up after a fall. The backpack would act like the spine and pop them back up to their feet. 
- The Eastern Eyed Beetle uses scales to camouflage. We could design a scale like costume to camouflage ourselves when needing to be hidden.

The second prototype I designed included pain stirrers, skewers, and the mirror. The wooden frame was too complex to stay on my head.

The third prototype I designed included an old pair of glasses, skewers, and the mirror. This was the best design, the model served the purpose!]]> 2019-10-03 01:43:49 UTC https://padlet.com/hali_wright861/6w12eyd12cll/wish/392801772 hali_wright861 https://padlet.com/hali_wright861/6w12eyd12cll/wish/392807216 Now I have eyes in the back of my head!]]> 2019-10-03 02:11:18 UTC https://padlet.com/hali_wright861/6w12eyd12cll/wish/392807216
