Today was the last day of tech.😭 I finished decorating my automata, which was all I had left. I even had time to make a solder person: What was somewhat hard about decorating was that my plane was constantly wobbly. I have used so many tools during this project scroll saw soldering iron pliers hot […]

Today was my second to last day of tech. Luckily I was able to get so close to finishing my automata. All I have left is to finish using paint markers to decorate. I also can cover the inside if I want to. Here is what I did over the last few days: On Tuesday […]

You know I like to keep you in suspense about big projects, right?But you know I would tell you eventually, right? So here is the new big project: We are making automata! So far I am pretty much done with the inside of the box: Here is a video of it in motion: 02893742-09A3-4A99-9315-BBF674110811-2hp9nk6 I […]

I probably had the most fun in tech during October. There were so many fun things. My favorite was making the flashlight! Here are some other fun things: all the solder people I made the new project the towers You may have noticed that there aren’t many things I did. That is because we spent a […]

This week in tech we finished our flashlights, and started a new project! On Wednesday, Mr. Calvert started the day by giving us a little time on our flashlight. Then he told us all about our new project. I had finished my flashlight a while ago so I decided to go back to the block […]

Even though I had finished making my flashlight a few last week, until about thirty five minutes ago it wasn’t official. Maybe I should back up. In tech the last two days, I was helping another kid with his flashlight. Today Mr. Calvert took a picture of me with my flashlight and said I could […]

…how to solder. That is the end of the sentence I started in the end of my last post. So first you have to shape your wire. Then you position it in the third hand (two clips to hold the wire). Once you have set everything up it is time to start soldering. Make sure […]

Last Friday, everyone who finished their flashlight, helped someone who had a lot left. I helped someone by explaining how to use the drill press, show him how to strip wire, describe the best way I would manage time, and guide him with soldering. I was not the only person helping, there were about one […]

Today I decorated  my flashlight! I colored it gold and yellow. It looks so good. I can’t wait for tomorrow when it will be dry.   Yesterday I put my circuit in my pipe! Mr. Calvert helped me put in the light, and then I put the cap on and put the switch in. Next […]

Today in tech I continued my flashlight project. We started pretty late but I had enough time to finish soldering and test it. It was my first time doing soldering with more then just metal.It worked on the first try! Tomorrow I will put the circuit in the pipe and add the cap on the […]
