The past few days, in Mr. Calvert’s technology class, we have been building automitas. Automitas are machines that can do things, (like make a flag go up and down) and all you have to do to make them work is turn a crank.
Building automitas are so fun! But they can be dangerous too. We’ve been working with drill presses and band saws. If you touch a band saw your finger will get cut off! So I’ve been a little nervous working on this project.
So far my automita is going pretty well. What I’m trying to do is to make a hand waving at the top of my box. I can’t wait to see my final product!
