I just finished making my flashlight. I got to use the drill presses to make the holes in the pipes for the light to come out and the switch. This is definitely the coolest thing I have ever made. I am really exited for the next project but I definitely not think it can be any cooler than this one.

This week we started making our flashlights. It is really cool how they have to be waterproof flashlights. This is going to be really cool and I would like to see how I will progress in this project.  I am really really exited.

I am working on switches and making the little red lights turn on and off with cardboard wires popsicles sticks and more. We are use it the glue guns and the scroll saws. It is so cool how fast the scroll saws can go and cut through cardboard so cleanly. I am exited to finish up my switches with the scroll saws and the glue guns.

I am working on my soldering piece and I am making a baseball. It is really cool how I can melt things with the iron. It is over 800 degrees and can go right through metal. It is very dangerous but very fun. Mabey I can also make another thing. Next week we are going to be working on switches and making them turn on and off. I am very exited to do it next week.

This week I am using a soldering iron and it is really cool. I have to use this white thing and melt it together. I do not know how it works but this is the coolest thing ever. I am exited to see what we are going to do next in tech class.

This week we are going to use the sottering iron. I am very exited. I am going to make a baseball because we have a limit of 6 lines because we are just starting. I am also making a 3d printed object. I am making a cup figure guy for my friend because he wants it. I do not know why. It is fun

In tech I am making my own design. Since I am a jets fan of course I thought to make a jets helmet. I am exited to see how it will look. I am going to make some 3d prints for my friends. It is so cool watching the things get print and cut. I do not know why but it is so satisfying. I hope we use the saws things too. Exited for next week.

This week we have been talking about atoms and how small they are and the parts of them. We are going to be starting the laser cutter this week I am very exited. I wonder if it will be hard or easier to do then writing. We are talking about how laser works. We get to make the design on the app and then Mr. Calvert will make them for us. I am exited to try it out and do other projects in the future.

When I first came into tech I had no idea what to expect. At first we went over all over and looked at all the machines we will be using this quarter. I am most exited to use the lazar cutters. Is it going to be hard? The next day Mr. Calvert had a box for a breakout. We had to look for clues all around the room. It took a lot of time but we ended up completing it in time. Neither group got the bounds box which was really hard to get. This breakout was very hard. I want to make a Mother’s Day card for Mother’s Day. I want to make a letter and then put a gift card in the middle. I think this would be very cool. I am also exited to work on projects with the people in my group. We could all combine our ideas and then make something very cool.

My task for the Capston project is to learn all about sports cards. I want o be studying how sports cards can loose their value and how it will go up in value? Is their any grading companies to make it go up in value? Why are sports cards worth money and how has it started up? An many more questions. I am also intrested in how they make a sports trading card and if they have to use some sort of machine to make it exact every time they make it because not everybody can just make one. My last thing that I am intrested in is why a long time ago sports cards were worth like no money and you could buy a whole entire box for ten cents but now some boxes are worth thousands.
