We have started our laser cutting unit. In this unit we use the app Vectornator and we draw cool designs, then we send it to our teacher Mr.Calvert and with his laser cutter he cuts out our design and it becomes a cool wooden pendant, magnet, piece of jewelry, pretty much anything you want. The first thing I made with the laser cutter was a wooden banner. When we used the app Vectornator, we used the pen tool. It was really hard at first, but I ended up getting the hang of it after practicing a few times. I learned that the reason why we use Vectornator, and not any other app is because Vectornator doesn’t use pixels, and the laser cutter doesn’t work well with pixels. My banner came out really nice, and I am very happy with the final product of it. After we made this design, and got more familiar with Vectornator, we started a new project. For this project we got to make a design of our own, and we could make it anything we would like, like a necklace, a magnet, a pendent, a keychain, and anything else that you will like. I made a necklace, with the infinity logo for my mom. I printed it out and it is looking amazing. I really am enjoying this laser cutting unit, and I don’t want it to end. But I am excited to start the next unit soon. I hope that I can keep making more laser cutting designs, and keep having fun in Mr.Calverts class.

Technology Blog Post #2
During Technology we have been working and learning a lot about atoms. I have learned that inside of atoms there are Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons. Atoms are in everything, and when I say everything, I mean EVERYTHING. We learned that atoms can be positive, negative, or neutral. Protons are positive, electrons are negatives, and neutrons are neutral. We learned this digitally. When rubbing a balloon on a sweater, or on your hair it collects a lot of negative electrons. When we put the balloon against the digital wall, all of the negative electrons always moved from the balloon, and all the positive protons stayed in place. This happens since opposites attract. Negative electrons, and negative electrons want nothing to do with each other, and this little experiment explains that. Atoms are very cool, and I really enjoy learning about them in Mr.Calverts class. I really understand what I am learning, and I have fun while doing it. Atoms are a cool subject to learn about, and I recommend you learning about them too.
