On Monday my tech class started to put together our automatas. We put together each side of the box for the automata. Each side has cut out areas. To put the sides together it is basically like a puzzle. When your done figuring out how each side goes together, you use a hot glue gun to glue the pieces together. Once the pieces where glued together we had to let them dry. So far I am enjoying creating my automata.

A few days ago Mr. Calvert was teaching and telling us about creating automatas. He showed us some and we all had to guess how they were working inside. He also showed us a few videos about some really creative automatas. For mine I am have clouds go through a rainbow. We started learning how to create them. There are four sides that we have to connect to make a box to create the automata. We also had to go on Vectornator to create circles that will make our automata work. I am excited to get started on making mine!

The Second day of technology Mr. Calvert taught and shared the safety rules of technology to my class. These rules are important because there are consequences when you don’t follow the rules. Such as getting hurt or messing up your project. Some of the safety rules include:

1. Slow down, think before you act

2. Tie back long hair, no  baggy clothes and dangling jewelry

3. No talking when using machinery

There are many other rules but I am not going to list them all. I am excited to work on the projects and when I am making the projects I will make sure to follow the technology safety rules.
