This week in technology we are learning about triangles and trusses, the project we had to do is we had to make a structure using trusses and triangles. What I did for this task is I made a cube and in all of the flat sides I put diagonal support in that spot, I did that to all of the flat sides. Then I tested my project and it went great! It held 14 books, isn’t that crazy! Overall this weeks project was intimidating to start with but as the week went on it started to get easier and easier.

This week in technology we looked at different kinds of beams, the most practical beam is I beam. It is called the I beam because when it is put together properly it show have the profile of an uppercase I. When I made it out of cardboard it was very much smooth sailing. One other part of the project was designing a new kind of beam, my beam has 4 sides and is made out of squares, so I call it the square beam.
