This week we had a project where we had to test a shape and another shape but it was reinforced with trusses. I thought it was super interesting and fun. In my experiment the normal shape just crumbled under the wight of 1 big book but the reinforced shape was able to withstand the same book plus for huge text books. It really surprised me because the were made of just paper and tape. I am really looking forward to next week if it is going to go like this.

This week we got assigned the first project we had to create and I beam and a regular beam to see which one was better at keeping things from falling or in other words which one is stronger. We had to share our test if the two beams in a FlipGrid post. I am looking forward to what we are going to do next week.

This week was the first week of the quarterly tech. We did a little of work on adhesives. And today we talked about different metals braking at different points and them being brittle or ductility. We also talked about why some projects broke or failed like the titanic. This week we didn’t do much just because it was the first week but we are probably going to do more next week.

Some of the pros of working from home are I can choose when I want to work on my project and be independent. And I don’t always have to ask for permission and I love taking brakes so. In class, you can’t do that but here you can. Some of the cons are that I procrastinate a lot. But I always end up finishing but it still doesn’t feel good to know you have to do a bunch of work in one day. I learned that I am not too good at explaining complex thing and my dad has to help me with that. I really enjoyed doing this project because I got to learn a lot about a topic I didn’t know about and that I learned some important stargates to working on a long term project

For my final project, I choose to make a slide presentation. I choose this because I fell that I have a lot of experience working with slides. In my slide show, I started with an introduction then talked about the advancement and the most dominant teams of each decade going from 1950 all the way up to the concepts and new cars of 2021. I learned that F1 cars have come an incredibly long way to what they are now. And that a lot of the things first advanced in F1 have been later translated to normal family SUVs and other everyday cars. I really liked this project because it forced me to learn about my favorite motorsport.

Well, I have found out I don’t like writing that much but for some weird reason, I do it anyway. My time management is fine in my opinion I always research when I am done with everything. I think when taking notes it is easier for me to be reading verses video I just find it harder to keep up with everything they are saying.
