This week has been a busy one. First off, this past weekend a couple of students and I attended the FLL kickoff. After the kickoff we went to a regional directors meeting, which was interesting. On Monday and Tuesday Martin, Kelly, and I worked on different parts of our science fair project. Wednesday the team had a meeting about the Falcon Retreat 2. The meeting went well and the officers were considering some of our ideas. Today Rangel, Dillon, and I went to ASU Prep. Academy. This was my first time mentoring this school. The ASU prep. team started slow because of misplacing of items and certain software not being installed on the computers. After mentoring we went back to school where Martin and Kelly were showing Ledge our newest torpedo. Martin, Kelly, and I also started a new torpedo that we hope to finish by tomorrow.

I helped give the construction workshop along with Dillon and Martin. We had groups I was the drill group. Also I went to tutoring to raise my grade. Martin, Kelly, and myself were also working on our science fair project. We've decided to test different types of metals as well as different types of gases.

Today Martin, Kelly, Ledge, and I were in a conference call with someone at Gateway Community College. The conference call was about taking machining and CADing classes at GCU. We also talked about price and a suitable hour for students to go on a weekday. In the end it came down to six hours a week for four weeks in October. Also we had a Lego ref. meeting, where we decided who would have to buy their own shirts, who were the head ref. for what tables, and how much they needed to buy supplies. Yesterday Kelly, Martin, and I tried to melt a hole into the toypedo. It was going well except the entire toypedo became harder to control and didn't go in as straight as we had hoped. It also produced a lot of smoke therefore we threw that idea out.
