Blog#11 work on the presentation
I have been working on the presentation for about a week already but i didn't like it because i am more like a talking person not a reader. When i started to do my power point i didn't know what to do since i have no outline i am on my own. i plan to be a talker and to engage the audience instead of reading off the screen like the last presentation of"to kill a mocking". once me and my partner are done with the project we would practice so that we would talk about it not reading.

Blog #10 time to get some duct tape!
Blog #10- Finished Cart
Josue:
So after months of looking for the right materials, building, planning, and injuring myself, I managed to build a cart. Using the base of a bed, wood planks, bike wheels, and lots of screws, the cart was alive since 5/4/14. But this poor cart met it's untimely end. While testing if it worked, my sister got onto the cart and started jumping on it. We heard a crack and the cart broke from the middle. I was devastated, but there was some success in its early demise. It proved that I can create something somewhat complicated and planning should be thought out more. But I'm not going to stop here. Using its parts, I stripped of its wood, nails, and anything else still intact and of use to prepare something that by comparison to the cart, it would be amazing. Completion would be somewhere in August, which would also mean months after the end of this project. Why stop making stuff? It would be like giving up inspiring, and to inspire is my goal.

Blog #9 I'm finally caught up !
My partner on Thursday of last week told me to get a ton of duct tape. So i went out that same weekend and went to go look for the duck tape. But unfortunately i couldn't find duck tape that didn't so much my money. I'm still working on it but lately i have been doing a ton of catch up homework witch was a pain on the neck and still i'm trying to do it. Nonetheless this weekend for sure i will get some just hope that nothing happens to me. This is the type of duct tape i want to buy but cant afford it:
wish i can get it. BUT WHY DOES MY PARTNER NEED IT?

Blog #4 I need help and got it
In this blog i couldn't remember what i did but nonetheless i know i did something. i got kind of frustrated when all the cardboard i found was all dirty and nasty. So i gave that a break and set out to find the most common recyclables: plastic bottles and aluminum cans. So me and my brother went out to my neighborhood to go look for what i wanted. We were out for a couple of hours and we found a decent amount; we put it on my wagon and kept on looking for more. At the end of the day i had a big bag of plastic and a miniature bag of aluminum. I was so happy and tired.

Blog #2 Time to catch up
Blog #2 was to be done a while back ago, but i didn't do it. i'm going to try to remember what happen. Okay so its was the beginning of me and me partner's project. We were trying to finish up the car but we needed more materials such as cardboard, wood, and metal things. Obviously cardboard was the main thing i needed to look for. So i did in about a few days i found a decent amount of cardboard and a little bit of metal; luckily i also found an old car radiator for the front of the car.

Blog #9-Bicycle Change-Up
So I was given a trashed up bike that was going to be recycled for metal. It was in bad shape, but still usable. So I began working on the bike. It took hours for the tires alone, but when I finished, I was able to ride the bike. But something that didn't seem right was the design. I didn't really like it, so an idea hit me. I should use colored duct tape to design the bike. So after much thought and consideration, I finally figured out what design to use. My favorite color, green, combined with a legendary entity of great power, and a hint of creativity, gave birth to my newly designed bike. And it's still not done. I've discovered some flaws in it, but once it's truly done, it will totally look awesome.
