Cricut machine sticker cutting:
So far in ADST I have worked with Cricut and tinker cad. when working with the Cricut machine i had trouble connecting to the machine so i had to barrow a laptop. i printed my name, a quote, my science logo, and a logo for my cohort. this has been one of my favorite classes because i can be creative and have fun with my work.
3D printed balloon powered cars:
So far in tinker cad we have made a balloon powers car. the first time i tried to get my car to move it had trouble and couldn’t move. but i am working on a different style for my car to make it lighter so that the air of the balloon can actually push the car.
this was my first car
when i blew up my balloon and put it on my car it did not go anywhere. so we made a new car with a different design. so that the car would actually move.
partner car:
this is the second car I made with a classmate. this car actually went somewhere when we put the balloon on it. we made the air hole bigger for more pressure to be able to push the car forward. the car went 3.6m far. this was a big change compared to my last car. because the last car didn’t move at all.
Laser Cutter: Thaumatrope
this was the first time my class got to use the laser cutter. i made a thaumatrope with a dolphin and splashing water. i had a lot of fun with this project, because i got to draw out the design and change anything i wanted to. i think that we had a lot of freedom to do whatever we wanted to do. this helped me be creative and really try to think outside the box.

March Mammal Madness:
we have started mmm (March Mammal Madness) in drafting class. i recently did an assignment on it. we had to animals and had to research which one would win and why. the animals that i got to research for the battle of a pelican vs a horseshoe crab. i predicted that the pelican would win because pelicans eat crabs, and there size is almost twice the size.
