PROTOTYPE

I decided I wanted to make homemade fettuccine with homemade Alfredo sauce. I chose to make this because this is one of my favorite pastas.

Today is Thanksgiving and I made it… It was really good and the rest of my family members thought so as well.

PLAN

I can’t wait to make pasta. And most important eat it!

My dad will be my expert and I will come to him for any problems. He the cookbooks and old family recipes will help guide me.

I have come up with a plan for my prototype. On Thanksgiving I will make pasta with my dad and it would be one of those many meals for Thanksgiving…

I will post some pictures on Thanksgiving.. I hope we can actually eat it. (it may burn)

PASSION

The topic I am choosing for my passion project this quarterly is cooking pasta from scratch. I chose this topic because I love cooking and , and I love looking and making new recipes- even though they don’t turn out always right.

Most importantly my dad is Italian and i want to learn to cook his culture’s food.

FUN FACT- Pasta came from China🇨🇳➡️🇮🇹

I loved Technology. I liked the projects, what we learned, and the teacher.

My favorite part about Technology was that we got to make things with our own hands(with some help from tools). This made me feel good about what I made.

My favorite project we did in Technology was when we made flashlights. I liked this most because it had many different topics but into one project. For example when we made the flashlight we were doing art, math, blueprints, switches and others.

I wish I could technology all over again, but a part of me also wants to see what the other quarterlies have to offer.

I completed the exterior of the flashlight last week. This week I made the interior of the flashlight (the circuit) and decorated.

To make the switch, I clipped wires according to my blue print. Then I  used the soldering station to solder the meters together. I attached a battery holder and an on and off switch.

I showed Mr.Calvert and he then gave me a battery. The flash light worked! I thought it was so cool t0 make some thing useful and productive.

I decided to color my flashlight, because it was-at-that-time it was only white pipes, with sharpie.

The end result was:

I love making and creating things I will miss technology and Mr. Calvert.
