This is my design tech project, it is a phone holder with a gap so you can charge it up.

Hi i am Nathaniel from Room 13 and this is my work that I have made in design tech it is a phone holder with a gap so you can charge it up. It was a fun task to do and it was a great 2 weeks. At first when I started to think what I was making I wondered if it would actually work but Mr Boyes said that it would and he got me motivated. It was amazing to see everybody's masterpiece. I used LED’s (light emitting diode) and they are blue,I used 2 of them and they turned out great.
