Tech Post #9

Hello!

This is my last tech post. I am very sad to leave tech and to end this quarter, I would like to talk about all the things that I did in this quarter, including the in school activities! The first thing that I will miss about tech, is that it is a very fun space to be in! The things that we did were, automates, truss experiments, started making jewelry, learned about atoms, Breakout Edu, and had lots and lots of fun!

I will miss this class a lot!!

Hello!

Today I will be telling you about our truss experiment!  In this experiment I look eight marshmallows and twelve toothpicks. Then I made a 3D cube, with no trusses. I then took a book and put it on and continued to put them on until it collapsed! Then I redid it, but this time with trusses and it worked a lot better! it was also a very tasty experiment!

These are the pictures of the before and after without the trusses!

Before!

After!

This is the first picture inside a hydrogen atom!

Hello again! Today I would like to talk about the discovery of the atom! It all started a long, long time ago. During this time it was told that if you keep on cutting through the apple, that there would never be a stopping place, but one person believed that that was not true, and that there was a stopping point! He did not know that he was right, but a little while later after he died somebody revisited his discovery so that they could prove that his theory was correct, after that scientists al tried and tried to snatch that first real picture of an atom! Then finally in the late 1900’s a group of scientists were able to snatch the first shot of a single atom! That is the story of the atom, hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed sharing it! Bye for now!

Hello, once again! I am sorry that I have not been updating at home so far! I have a lot to share about tech! In regards to atoms, I am very shocked on what I have learned so far! I have learned everything from how big they are, to how you live and breath in atoms all day and night! I hope that I will continue learning all this cool, things about atoms! I will continue giving updates, but for now, bye!

Tech Post (#4)

Hello, and welcome to my 4th tech post! Today I get to start on my star!! (I changed my idea.) For my idea I will be creating three stars of  the colors purple, pink, and blue. My good news is that my gears are working! I hope that by the end of the class I will have finished at least me first star. More posts to come!

Tech post (#3)

Hello again. Today we got to create the base for our automates, it was very fun and an interesting experience. First we got all of our pieces and started trying to figure out how they fit together, (it was very hard.) After that we hot glued our first two sides, waited. Then we got to glue the other two sides together. Then we were done with our base!!! We also got our cam and follower back. I can not wait to start on the next step. I love this Project. Bye for now.

Automatas (#2)

Hello, today we learned about Automatas and watched a video. It was um….. interesting. Though it was very educational. Also I didn’t put this in a separate post, but we got to sketch out designs for our automata!!! It was a lot of fun. I hope everyone is having as much fun as I am. On Monday we also get to put together our automata bases! I am so ready and excited. By the way my automata is going to be a little girl waving! I can not wait to put it together!

Bye for now,

Breakout EDU (#1)

Hello, and welcome to my my first tech post!!!!!

Today we played Breakout EDU. It was a lot of fun. Our team was the first one to break out. This is how it worked. We got 22 minutes to try and find out all the codes to unlock the box. Our team first found the clue of the SMS technology safety rules. Stay Safe! We read it over than set out to find another clue. We than found the story and started on our work. We read it and tried to connect our clues. Than we had our first code and things started to speed up. We unlocked that lock. Than John unlocked to next one with a complete guess! We struggled for a little than unlocked our last lock! We were done! I really enjoyed this game. Have a great day!
