This second week, we started to do more activities and we were introduced to a tool and how to use it. I am starting to be more engaged into the class activities, because there was something I could do and it found it interesting. The first required assignment that I worked on, was making a design on Tinkercad that included your name in it, like a name tag. I forgot to finish the activity the first week, but for my  name tag I didn’t put in a lot of effort but I made sure to make something that satisfied me enough.

The main activity, or probably the most important activity this week, was when we worked on our box plan. I found a little difficulty making the design, and thinking what I was going to do, but I eventually found a design that I wanted and I was able to start my design. The design on paper looked simple, but it was a little difficult to make it for you had to put in a lot of thought to make sure you box would work. Also, you had to be careful that the box wasn’t small enough to the point were you had less than 1/2 an inch of space for an item to be put into the box. I think this activity was important, because if you didn’t do this correctly, it could mess up your whole box.

The last activity that we did on Friday, Ms.Giroux  introduced us to a simple tool called a hand planer. The hand planer was used to smooth out the surface of a piece of wood, and to make sure all of the sides are even and not slanted.
