This project was a bit challenging for me, especially when coming up with a concept to go with. However, completing the extra credit assignment really helped me to understand the mechanics that goes into making a clock work. I went with a coffee shop idea after looking at how the shadows around my coffee cup collection on my desk change as the day goes on and I thought that it would make a cute clock idea.

There are a few details I wish I could have ironed out but overall I think that this clock is cute and fun.
The steam moves with seconds, the person outside the window moves along with the minutes, and the shadow of the cup rotates with each hour.
