On Friday (I didn’t have time for 9) I finished something called my very own switch!! It wasn’t that hard, since I don’t care 🤷‍♂️ about fancie pancie decorations because they suck and the are too time 🕢 consuming. So I picked a simple piece of cardboard and got to work. I decided to make a “circle” ⭕️ switch. So I started by cutting a circle ⭕️ using a xacto knife. It was really blunt though. The I made a hole using a 🔨 and a cylinder in a piece of cardboard . Then I fitted a straw in the hole and put the circle ⭕️ ( which also had a hole) on the straw. Then I hot glued it together. I then added foil to the circle ⭕️ and the cardboard. I was done ✅!!

Yesterday (Tuesday) and today we played the self driving car 🚗 game. It was a game where 2 people on each side would throw cards ♦️ ♥️. Then the player in control of the 3 switches would look at the cards. If there was a red card to the right, the he would throw the right switch, both red would be the middle, you get the idea. It was really fun at first, but really, it was a very short⌛️🕢 lasted thing. All in all, after a while, we got bored 😑 🤷‍♂️. So we started blogging which is why this has been typed.👀👅

On Friday (the next week) and also Thursday I pulled of a miracle. And it started like this: By Thursday I had made the body (but really it was 60% other people👬) and was ready for the legs. Then me and Walker spent the whole day trying to make it stand, and eventually we did!! Then I put my name on the soldering 👨‍🏭  list. At the end of class, I was about to learn how then get going but Brrrrrrriiinng!! The bell 🛎 rang. Then, on Friday I was next and you know what happened next. I finished. Hallelujah 😇👏!!

On Thursday (I skipped wednesday) we started to make Sater people . We were given instructions, and of we went. It sucked. I couldn’t do these “twists” because I (and a lot of others) didn’t find the instruction sheet clear enough. Also I won’t leave out the fact that I kind of sucked at it.🤷‍♂️ It was very frustrating 😡but I did it anyways. And that is practically how I spent Friday, too. 😡 Yay, not!!

Last week on monday (yes, it’s been that long) wee did some work on breadboards. We made a circuit that involved turning on a light 💡. It was only LED, pardon the emoji. I ended up doing two because I was really good at breadboards (I once made a robot with a breadboard at a google convention :<). Then the next day we made a paper roller on our own (it was IKEA) and my table built 2. Then we had to design means of transportation for the blind. We would draw the design on paper 📝. I came up with: a robot 🤖 dragon 🐉, a teleportation device, and an automatic-drive car 🚗. That was a fun 2 days!

On Friday we did some work on making circuits.

We started by using just the lights, which was boring. Then we did some work trying to add this thingy. I think it was a switch, but it was rusty. Very rusty.🌧 So to open the screws, we had to use a lot of strength.😠 I honestly hated having to open that screw. Just hated it. It took like, 5 minutes just to open the two of them with a screwdriver. Afterwards we tried to make the circuit. However, we kinda struggled. Wed didn’t finish it in the end. :*( But we had fun, and that’s what counts!!!

In the past week, we have been studying the elements of the periodic table of elements. We studied the basics. I already knew a lot, so I didn’t learn much. I did however learn about what was the max capacity of the “rings” were. I also learned that Argentina was named after “Argentinium” (now called silver) because of a far fetched legend. 🇦🇷🇦🇷

Then we did a bit on electrical conductivity. ⚡️⚡️I learned about which elements were the most conductive and why. It was due to the electr0ns.

As I love the periodic table, this turned out to be a really fun week!😁😜

On friday we did a Breakout EDU. We had to break open a box with 3 locks. We were given 3 clues that were hidden in our half of the room that we would have to crack in order to open the locks. There was a direncions lock, and 4 number lock and an incomplete letter lock.

At first, we immediately found “A day in the lab”. It was a story of someone who broke 3 rules. We overlooked it as we did not see any match to a lock (but it did). Then we saw a path to safety. After using our first hint, I realized that the directions that you followed were the direction locks combination.

Next, after a while, half of the group was weorking to search for the one with the path while my half looked at the day in the lab. After some analysis, I determined that the answer was the number lock, and it was 5811. I knew this because he broke rules 5, 8, and 11.

Finally, after the second clue, I found a obvious hint that the final lock was First.

Right now, this is the 3rd lesson. I am currently a slight bit worried about how many ways I can get hurt. I mean, I could get burned, cut, get my hair stuck in a power drill, get a splinter, ect. However, this doesn’t mean I am not excited either! In fact, I am more excited than I am worried. I love making things and we will be doing a lot of that.Mr Calvert seems really nice, which is good. And honestly, I think Technology is so far one of the funnest classes. On the first and second classes, I got comically (AKA very badly) lost, which was actually fun.😜

So all in all, so far, so good.
