This blog is a small summary of my team project I did in my engineer class.
Best Tower had to create a tower that meet the criteria 75 cm or higher. The tower had to hold 295g at the top of the tower. Best Tower only use approximately 40 index cards and 30 label sticker. We folded the legs of the tower into triangles. The design idea come from my partner Marisa. The base of the tower had the most legs. We just add a extra leg as we went up level. Approximately at 40 cm we reduce the legs to just four legs per level. We had total of ten level in our tower meeting the high requirement. We made the tower in 20 minutes and the tower hold the weight longer than ten minutes. To be honest with the time, cost, and material restriction the only thing I will do different is spending more time with making the legs. To make sure the tower legs was even on the corners. Making the tower legs more steady. I believe the tower would hold for additional ten minutes. Best tower design was the quickest and the cheapest project in our class. We was the first company done with their project.

Eng100 03/28/17 In Joan Didion essay “Why I Write” she describes the way she write and why. She stole the title from George Orwell. Didion describes “In my way writing is the act of saying, of imposing oneself upon other people,of saying listen to me, see it my way, change your mind.” Listen I’m Joan Didion meaning I'm not writing to get anything published. When I was younger and still right now I hate writing and reading. I use many forms of writing ,texting , typing, and writing some down on a paper. I would like to tell you how writing help me a lot one time of my life. November 2015 can't remember the exact date. I was going 3 months without talking to my family. Roughly 3 weeks without on a minute conversation with anybody. At this point of I read everything i had in my room. My imagination was crazy. To be real I was feeling bit crazy. I was flipping my mattress around when I saw a note pad. I forgot all about this note pad of mines. When I saw this i feel like a kid in a candy store. Immediately I stop what i was doing and starting to thinking about this story. I had so many ideas didn't know where to start at. Finally I arrange my ideas in order the best way I could. Now I find a hobby that will keep me occupied. Time was flying because if i wasn't writing i was thinking about what i'm going to write. what new character to put in the story. Why I write? 2015 of November I was writing just to be heard. |
