Rube goldberg project-
At the moment we are working on creating rube Goldberg machines to accomplish simple tasks for us.
This was a very fun project because it took a lot of skill to be able to create a contraption to do certain things for you. Overall I think that this project was very fun and that it really peaked my interest by causing me to bring out the mechanic inside.

Rocket Project-
Overall during the rocket project that we had worked on for two weeks was really fun and exciting. While working on my rocket we had tried several different ideas on how we should go about building our rocket. The first rocket that we had built had not worked out very well because on the day of the test launch that we had done, the glue had managed to come apart and the rocket just kind of "popped". Even though the first rocket that we built failed we had taken the failed rocket and improved upon it to make it even better. On the day of the exhibition the rocket we had made was actually able to fly, slightly, across the baseball field, unfortunately the parachute did not deploy and the rocket was destroyed again. I think that I would have to say that the funnest part for me was when we were actually able to launch the rockets on Exhibition day because we got to see how all of the different rockets worked and also looked, this part I thought was really cool, especially when one of the rockets had flown all the way across the field and into the parking lot of the rec-center. Overall I think that this project was really fun and that it was really worth the time that we had spent working on it.
