1st Semester Final


This Semester I learned a lot but I mostly learned more in AutoCad. In AutoCad you can do a lot of different projects. I've been working on a project to use the plasma cuter and it's really fun to do the design, it's a lot of work but it's worth seeing how it turns out! I also learned that I want to be a lot more hands on with the tools. I want to work on cutting the medal and welding it seems so exciting, I was very afraid to even go near the tools but now that I see people doing it, it seems exciting! Hopefully I when we get back from Winter break I can get started on the fire ring project and get to welding!

Week 15

This week we watched a video on a bus that runs on poop. We also watched a NASA video. We worked in AutoCad on working on the design for the fire pit ring. We had to watch a video on YouTube about how to do the design and get an image on the internet and make it less pixelated. I really liked doing the design because we had to take the image into different places and being able to do it on our own and just learning how to do it off of YouTube was really easy! I'm excited to get started.

This weeks essential question was how do we use natural gas?
Natural gas is widely recognized as one of the most versatile and valuable of our North American energy resources because it can be used in so many important ways. A clean generating source for almost a quarter of the nation's electric power. Efficient heating, water heating and cooking for homes and businesses.
