Doing Good

So, today we glued some pieces of jinx wood to the under side of the base for some support and we even got the dowel for our wheels. We planned out what we were going to do for the next few classes as wheel. One of our member will bring CD's for our front wheels and we're going to cut and make our back wheels along with our pulley. We started discussing the possibilities for our arm but haven't decided on one yet.

Building

Today we started building our base for the car. We cut the old election signs for our base and next class, we'll probably glue some jinx wood onto the back for more support. After that, we'll start making the wheels for the car. Our teacher announced that the project is set to be due sometime in February.

Beginning

We finished our design over the weekend and today after fixing a few mistakes, we got our rough draft signed and starting next class, we'll be ready to begin.

Bonus

So today we discussed this project as a class and the different aspects involved in this project.
We worked a bit on the sketch although we are still a bit confused on how the mouse trap is supposed to work. Mr.Smith announced that any groups that finished their project by the 28th of January would recieve bonus points. I hope we finish by then but I doubt it. We're going to use this long weekend to catch up with everyone else and try and figure it all out.

First Day

So, today was the day that we began working on our brand new design and technology project. Although we had an entire class to work on it, we haven't finished the design of the mousetrap car yet. Hopefully, we'll be done our design by next week and be ready to start building soon.
