ORAL DEFENSE

FOR LCA GLASSES PROJECT

BY ALEX OLMORE
 IDEATION PROCESS

INSPIRATION FOR IDEA- LCA IS A GENETIC RESEARCH/ENGINEERING GOAL- MY

DISORDER THAT IS NOT WELL KNOWN BUT ENGINEERING GOAL WAS TO ENGINEER A
NEEDS TO BE WELL KNOWN. IT IS VERY RARE COMPACT, CHEAP, SIMPLE SOLUTION THAT WILL
SO THEREFORE NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW ALLOW PEOPLE WITH LCA TO SEE EASIER AND
ABOUT. THIS IS RATHER IRONIC BECAUSE IT IS A MAKE EVERYDAY LIFE MORE NORMAL.
DISORDER THAT NEEDS ATTENTION. THE
VICTIMS ARE IN A SITUATION THAT HAS ONE
OUTCOME WITH THE HELP BEING EXPENSIVE
SURGERY. SO I THOUGHT OF A WAY THAT I
COULD HELP BY PROVIDING A DEVICE THAT
EASES THEIR EVERYDAY LIFE, AND I DID JUST
THAT.
 BEGINNING RESEARCH
PROCESS
INFORMATION FROM SOURCES- THE INFORMATION I GOT
FROM MY SOURCES WAS INFORMATION ON LCA LIKE ITS
SYMPTOMS, CAUSES, AND ANY POSSIBLE TREATMENT.

LIT REVIEW- MY LIT REVIEW HELPED ME ORGANIZE MY IDEAS

WHICH FOR ME DID NOT REALLY HELP TOO MUCH BUT IT DID
HELP ME FURTHER GENERATE IDEAS FOR MY PROJECT.

NEXT STEPS- THE NEXT STEPS FOR MY PROJECT WOULD BE

TO ADD THE ABILITY TO READ AND ADD THE ABILITY TO
CHANGES DISTANCES THAT YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO SEE
TO.
PROCEDURE AND
METHODOLOGY
THE ORVERALL PROCEDURE FOR
THIS PROJECT WAS RATHER SIMPLE
IN THE FACT THAT THERE WERE NOT
MANY STEPS. THE MAIN PARTS
WERE DESIGNING THE GLASSES IN A
3D PRINTING SOFTWARE, PRINTING
THE GLASSES, AND THEN
REMOVING THE SUPPORT MATERIAL.
PAPERWORK AND JOURNAL
FOR MY PAPERWORK AND JOURNAL,
EVERYTHING HAD TO BE NEAT AND
ORGANIZED WHICH IS DIFFICULT
FOR ME TO DO ESPECIALLY WHEN
IT COMES TO HANDWRITING.
OVERALL I MANAGED TO STILL
ACCOMPLISH THIS TASK AND BE
ABLE TO PRESENT A WELL-KEPT
JOURNAL OF MY PROJECT’S
PROGRESS.
 CONCLUSION NEXT STEPS
IN CONCLUSION, MY PROJECT WAS A THE NEXT STEPS FOR MY
SUCCESS IN THE FACT THAT IT PROJECT WOULD TO
PROVIDES A WORKING SOLUTION TO ADD THE ABILITY TO
SOME OF LCA’S LESS SEVERE READ WITH THE
CASES. THE PROJECT IS LIGHT, GLASSES ON (BECAUSE
CHEAP TO MAKE, PRACTICAL, AND
MIRRORS INVERT VIEW)
AND TO ADD THE
WELL ENGINEERED WHICH ARE ALL
ABILITY TO CHANGE THE
INGREDIENTS FOR A WORKING
DISTANCE THAT YOU
SOLUTION. SCIENCE FAIR OVERALL
WANT TO SEE TO.
WAS AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE THAT
NOT MANY PEOPLE CAN SAY THEY
HAD. IT WAS FUN AND EXCITING
EVEN THOUGH WE DID NOT MOVE
ON TO REGIONALS.
