Tech Final Week: Light Switches and Reflection
This is the last week of tech, and to finish the quarter off we are making light switches using gears. We had to glue the gears to their axels, then […]

Last week in tech, we made parallel circuits, which are circuits where, if you are powering multiple lights, even if you remove one light, the other lights won’t turn off, […]
Last week in Tech, we stripped wires using a wire stripper and made an electroscope. The wires were pretty simple, just setting the stripper to the right setting and then […]
Last week in tech, we made cranks. This time, my project turned out much better, partly because I had experience, partly because it printed much better. This was basically the […]
Last week in Tech class, we made the base of all automata: cams. A cam is an object connected to an axle, but the axle is off centered, so when […]
This week in tech, we learned about simple machines, mainly levers. We learned about the three classes of levers: Class 1, where the fulcrum is in the middle; Class 2, […]
This week we worked on our first real project: Beams. First we had to build an I beam, a shape used a lot in today’s construction. But the real challenge […]
This week in Tech, we learned about trusses/triangles, and why they are so strong. We learned that triangle’s sides and angles can only change if one is changed. Therefore, unless […]
This week in tech, we did our first project: attempting to build a beam to support weight. First, as a control, we build I-beams, a shape that is used in […]
Last week in tech for Quarter 3, we learned about adhesives, and how they work. We learned that animal glues were much more popular not too long ago, even though […]
