Today is my last day in technology. Overall, technology has been super fun. I personally love building things, so I really enjoyed this. Mr. Calvert has been such a good teacher. He helped out and taught me so many things like soldering, making switches, atoms, batteries, and so much more. I thought this class helped me with things like building, science, and measurement. I am super sad to leave technology. It was so fun, but I know I will love art as well. This is my last blog post, so I hope you learned about what I did in technology. Bye!
In technology I soldered my piece. It was kind of scary, because I was scared I was going to burn myself. Two people already burned themselves, so it made it even worse. When I was soldering, It was 842º, and there was a soldering piece that went with it. The solder piece helped make the metal melt. After I finished soldering, it kept on breaking so Mr. Calvert helped me finish it. Overall, even though it was really scary sometimes, it still was a fun experience.
This is my soldering piece!
We started to talk about soldering the next day. The first thing we did was brainstorm our designs. We used a circle template. I chose to make a wave. The next thing we did was create our design on an app called Vectornator. It was hard to make it on that app because it didn’t exactly look like I wanted it too. Next we printed out our design and used wires to make our design. I just finished that step. The next step is to solder your design. I haven’t done that but I’m about too. Overall Soldering has super fun so far!
