A couple weeks ago, we were given 6 mystery boxes. Our task was to figure out how the stick sticking out from the top of the box was moving like it was when we twisted the stick on the side of the box. The challenge was really difficult, and our table was stumped for a lot of them. When the answers of how they worked were revealed, we didn’t get anything right, but at least we knew how it worked now. When we were instructed to make our own automati, we watched a few videos. Many of the automati displayed seemed very complicated at first, but then Mr.Calvert explained it to us, and the automata seemed quite simple. I was ready to make the very best automati!
