Kumusta, everyone!
At STEM last week (24/08/26), we talked about technology and looked at our plants. My plant didn’t really grow much. It only grew one single leaf, but it was a little one. Haji’s plant, on the other hand, grew really fast and tall. So, I think traditional soil works better because the plant looked healthier and grew faster. After looking at everyone’s plants, we talked about which way works the best for growing plants and what makes them healthy and grow faster.
We also talked about our Father’s Day cards because Father’s Day is on Sunday, 6 September. The laser cutter takes a long time to design everyone’s cards, so my tech teacher said she would put them in our mailbox. A crazy fact is that I thought our school didn’t even have a mailbox because I had never seen it before. My teacher told us that every school had one, and we all said that we didn’t have one. Then she said we did, so we were like, “Okay then.” After that, we moved on and talked about the next thing.
My team and I also made a cage for the alien using EPro 8 supplies. I mainly used everything except the string, cord, rope, and plastic spur gears. At first, it was really hard to put everything together because I didn’t really know what I was doing. But after trying a few times, I got more confident and it became easier for me. Me and my team made a Lamborghini-style door for the alien. We weren’t finished with the roof and the bars, but we still did our best to make it work. It was really hard putting everything together, but I think our team did a good job.
