I really liked Tech. I enjoyed all the projects i got to build and the stuff we got to learn about. My favorite project was probably the laser cutting piece because I liked the aspect of drawing my design and I really liked tracing my design. I thought it was really cool how we made switches. We started off with cardboard, tin foil, and other stuff like straws, glue, and popsicle sticks. We made 3 switches and they were all so cool! Overall I really enjoyed tech

Today we learned about switches. We were told to make 3 light bulbs light up. With 3 switches, 3 light bulbs, one battery and wires. Even if you turn off one of the switches the other lights would still be able to turn on. I learned that this is how my house is wired because if one light goes off in a room the others dont. I found wiring the lights was really difficult.

When we first started this project, switches. I thought to myself “Why are we making switches?” But after I made my first switch I realized that making Switches were really fun. Our switches are used to turn on a light. The light is battery operated. To build the switch you need to make two pieces of tin foil touch. So for one of my switches you pushed down on a piece of cardboard and it makes the tin foil touch. That’s one example of a switch another example is pushing something so the tin foil touches. Overall I really liked learning about switches and I really enjoyed making them.

The weeks before break and this week, we started working on wire jewelry. For thus project I made a pendant that has my grandmas initials: CL. When I first started this project I didn’t know who’s initials to do. Then I realized my grandma would be perfect! To make the circle that the letters would go into i took a pice of wire. Then I formed a circle with wire remaining. I took they remaining wire and looped it. Looping it was my favorite part of the project. To make the letters I used my hands and round nose pliers. When I saudered, that was defiantly the most scary part because I didn’t want to get burned.

When I first came into computer tech I had never been on Scratch before, I was super confused and I had no experience coding. Eventually I got the hang of coding. When we did our first project, animating a word, I pieced together a code and eventually I was able to use scratch! To advance in coding I would love to learn how to code using Python because I think its super cool that you can code using symbols and letters. I would also like to code on Tynker because I want to learn how to code on more websites. I didn’t know before I came to computer tech that the phrase ‘a bug in the system” comes from a moth in the motherboard that Grace Hopper discovered.

On this winter break I rented a house up in woodloch with my cousins, I celebrated my birthday, I hung out with my family and dogs, I died my hair, and I went rock climbing with my babysitter

I support Joe Biden because he believes in racial justice, health care, (which is really important at the moment) he also wants to improve Obama care.He also wants to improve the Black Lives Matter movement in the US.
