Last week in engineering
we learned each others
name and that was really
difficult for me
beavuse i am very bad at
memorizing names :(I only
came to engineering only
from tuesday because
I got my schedule mixed up.
On Wednesday we did or first
cahlege and that challenge was
to make a bridge made out of spaghetti
and wood glue.On Thursday we
worked on the formation of the
bridge and how working on how
it was going to look like. On friday
we acctually statred to learn
how to mkae a website on notpad ++
which was really fun.

Today we were working on our websites for the whole entire period which was good because i needed to
catch up. I tried copying NASA's websire which didnt happen beacuse it wouldnt let me. By the time we
got there it was already 12:
copying which was very fustrating. AFter I tried copying NASA's webiste I tried making my webiste go live with Dr.Neats assistant for the day.
I couldnt put my website live to the world because i wasnt registered to the class yet so that made me kind of mad.
August 18, 2016
Today my group worked on our speghetti bridge, we tested out first idea and i held a good amount of water.
AFter that we worked on another idea that we had inmind which was to make a bunch of triangles. Later on
when we were glueing our pasta together, i accident spilled glue on my cloths and it was very hard to get out.
August 19, 2016
Today we worked on our speghetti bridge again. we worked on different bridges that we can use for the challenge.
We messed up on our glueing beavuse we had to balance the pasta on this carton of milk to keep it up straight.
But we figured it out in the end.
August 22, 2016
Today was the day that I was almost late to 5th period because of where and me and my friend went for lunch.
We went to Deli Sis which is accross the street from 711. Its about 10 minutes away from school.
When I ordered my sandwich the "The CV special" I already knew it was going to take a while because
there wasd another 10 orders infront of me. 20 minutes passed and it was 12:47 and we had 8 minutes
to eat my sandwhich and get back to school. So we decided to eat the sandwhich on the way to school and we made
it abck with 1 minute to spair, and to day we learned about Sketch Up
August 23, 2016

our bridge didnt even cary the a gallon bottle.
August 25, 2016
Today is the first game for freshamn football. At the time i writing this, the game is about 2 away.
Last week we had a schrimage against Monrovia High School just for practice. We tied 14 to 14 and
it was a good game overall, but they fouled us a lot but there was no reff so there was no penalty
for the fouls.
Wednesday Challenge
August 26, 2016
Today we talked about the JPL invention challenge, the verterans that were workingon it
talked about it and showed us their ideas that they had for the challenge, many questions
were asked about how the water was going to be picked up and put the water in he vessal.
Most of the questions were asked by me because i was very interested in it.

and pencil I had the knowledge to do it wiht ease.
November 2, 2016
Today we had another WC. The challenge was to make a Capital E. We sketched it up
and had the dimensions of the E. But the thing is that we would get somoene elses
E to make. We would get a sketch up of the E and make it. Today we just created the
sketch up of it.
November 3, 2016
Part 2 of the WC we had the Sketch Up and gave it to a random group, whuch we didn't know.

But we were the ones that desinged it.
WC E
November 8, 2016

fun and cool.
November 9, 2016
Its Wednesday so we had another WC. We were handed to masses that were labeled 1 kg.
Our task was to determine which one was the real 1kg. We had 3 minutes to weigh the
two masses to see which was one was actually 1kg. We decided that that the ratio was
3 to 1. But we figured out later that it was 4 to 1 instead.
Here is the WC form -- WC 1kg
November 10, 2016
Since we dont have school tomorrow we had the JPL Invention Challenge come and
present there devices to the class. For me personally I think that Cole's device is
going to do the best. There was barely and splatter of water, and it was quick.
November 13, 2016
Today we worked on our E Wc Forms, I already did mine so I had to
work on the 1kg WC form. After we are done with the form we had to take the
picture of the E and post it on our website. And the Sketch Up of the one
we designed.
November 14, 2016
Today was another day that we worked on our websites. I tried attempting
to do something with the title of my Website. I tried makinf the words
rainbow colored but it didnt end so well, they were so far apart so it
didnt look as good as I wanted it to be. So I blew off the idea.
November 15, 2016
Following up on the bridge project, today we chose the bridge that me and
Raul wanted and that was the Vasco da Gama Bridge in Portugal. Well
Raul had to back into the Shop today so I couldnt work on the project.
Instead I just worked on my website
November 16, 2016
Today was another Wednesday Challenge. We were handed wto metal slides, about

WC 1kg
November 17, 2016
Our mission as a class was to complete the WC form for the one we did
yesterday. Overall it was a fun WC because it trained us for a temporary
fix for anything like a car or something with your house.
November 28, 2016
Today is the first day back from our Thanskgiving break and I am very tired. We just
learned something new in sketch up which was the rotate tool. And with this tool
we are supposed to make a sketchh up of out bridge that we made about for our
qauter WC. Its gonna take some time but I thik that I can get it done.
November 29, 2016
We had the JPL invention group come and tell us about the results of the
semi finals. No one made it to the finals that is gonna be at the JPL itself.
November 30, 2016
Today was Wednesday so we had a WC. Were handed 1 marshmellow, one pretzel stick, and
1 graham cracker. The challegne was to build the highest construction and who ever had the
highest would win the challenge. We designed a part that was just straight up crackers,
37 half crackers stacked up on top of eachother.
December 1, 2016
Since we didnt get it build the building that we designed, my team had to build someone
else's desing and it only went up 7 inces. I had to leave early because my mom could not pick
me up any other time. We still dont know who won.
December 2, 2016
We had a sub today in class so it was a chill class period. All we did was work on our websites
and watch an episode of Myth Busters. Whiel watching I worked on my Arch Bridge Sketch Up.
December 5, 2016
Dr.Neat was telling us abot finals and everything that we were gonna do for it.
and it is pretty simple, we are gonna do the same exact thing that the JPL invention
challenge group. But it isntead of 2 meters it was gonna be 1 meter. We were
thinking of the Kevin Arm but sideways.
December 6, 2016
We had another day to work on our final, we decided to change our idea and all
I'm telling you is that we are goijg to have a polly method, ourselves pulling it.
And the only problem with that is that we have to do the whole 2 meters, which isn't
that big of a deal.
December 7, 2106
Following up on our final project. We had the idea of having a 2 meter pcv pipe at an angle
and then some tipe of funnel at the top. Were gonna have a rope that somone
is going to the pull and then the cup will poor the water into the pipe and the
the water is gong to go down and into the cup.
Dcember 8, 2016
Our group bassicly did nothing because we had nothing to since we didnt have the materails
to start the "machine". So we just went on our phones and listened to music.
December 9, 2016
Our group was figuring who was gonna do what and who is gonna bring what materails to start
building the "machine" I made the decision to bring the carboard boxes that we were
gonna need to support the 2 meter pcv pipe. I just dont know where to get them.
December 12, 2016
I totally forgot to bring the cardboard boxes but atleast our partner brought the main
thing that we needed, which was the pcv pipe. Today was gonna be the day that vut the pipe
into 2 meters instead of 3. When we cut it we had extras so we just put it by the other
extra pcv pipe the JPL invention challenge group had.
December 13, 2016
Today I got the news that Mr. Miller graded websites and I was totally about the
my website beacuse all of my focus was getting an A for our final. My goal was
atleast to get a B in this class and I havent seen my grade in a month so who knows.
January 9, 2017
Today is the first day of school back from break and I have mixed emotions about coming back.
Im excited, anxious, and sad at the same time. Im really excited to see my friends but I'm also
sad because I have to wake uo at 6:30 everyday. It is going to take some time for me to get used to
it since Ive been waking up at 1 pm everyday. But speaking about today in class all we did was
talk about the robotics game and what it is.
January 10, 2017
We learned how to make a website from google. We first had to log in to our student email
then we had to go our google and make a new folder.
Janaury 11, 2017
Today is wednesday so you have a Wednesday challenge to do. First Dr.Neat told us what was the challenge, it was
to take a cardboard box and cut it exactly 1 foot by 1 foot. Then he told us our groups which only consisted of 2
people instead of 4. So my group to the box and attempted to cut it. I over thought and messesd up the whole entire
Wednesday Challenge. We didnt have enough time to create another one so we didnt turn one in. Here is the WC From
Square Wednesday Challenge
Janaury 13, 2017
All we had to do today was to take a picture with our square and post it on our google sites website. I
am going to stick with this method of my websites since its a lot easier for me personally.
January 17, 2017
We didnt have school on monday so today is our first day back. We learened more about Google Sites but I am
