Rube Goldberg Blog Post #2

Building a Rube Goldberg Machine was very fun because even though it was very challenging, stressful, and frustrating, I got to learn new things and build a really cool machine that fed my hungry dogs. I had to keep switching some parts of my design because it wasn’t working. It was challenging because I had to keep setting up the dominoes, ping pong ball, golf ball, and car. My mom helped me film the WeVideo and even though my dad and brother didn’t film me, they still stayed 4 hours downstairs with me, and inspired me to keep trying. It took me 4 hours and 48 failed attempts until I finally got it to work. I was so happy! I went right to bed because it was really late. Creating my WeVideo was fun because it didn’t take long and I got to actually put the whole video together. Although it took so many tries and it was making me crazy, I learned a lot from it. I learned to have patience and to keep on trying. The resources that I used to help me were WeVideo, “Constructing A Rube Goldberg Machine“, and “Connectionsacademy.com

Here is my final Rube Goldberg sketch:

Reflecting On Creating My Immigrant Interview WeVideo

For my immigrant interview, I interviewed my neighbor, Puneet. I loved creating my WeVideo because it was fun using what I learned about Puneet, and creating a whole video about his immigration story. I found his story to be very interesting. Puneet gave me lots of great information which made it easier for me to make my WeVideo longer and better.  Some things that were challenging for me were figuring out what pictures to put in my slideshow, and organizing everything. After a few days of creating and revising my slideshow, I finally felt like I didn’t have any more revising to do, so I decided that I was done.
