Today, on December 6th, we participated in various self-development activities and robotic programing. The day started off with them attempting to work are brains with math and word scrambles, but they hardly challenged my mind. we then discussed what we seek in our future sole-mate. I didn't fully participate in the activity, but I still managed to pick out the items on the list i found most important. I also managed to engage in an in depth conversation with one of my supervisors on "loyalty", one of the items on the list. After that, we progr

Today, our group did some stuff man. We were observing the insides of pumps to see how different pumps work and to be able to put them together in the future. This activity we did today is based on last week's activity, transferring water from bottle to bottle with a tube and a stopper. 

Today, we did a lot of interesting stuff. We played with glue guns, well glued stuff that was relevant to whatever we were doing. Our group made a bridge that held 10 pounds, it could have held more. We were also constructing buildings to see who could make the tallest. We came it fourth, but it was nice though.

Today was an interesting day none the less. Another supervisor has joined the Yes-2-Tech family, Priscilla. We started the day with some pre-school games and ice breakers, such as going around the room, statingrat our names, and something about ourselves. We also played this game called scategories that became very challenging, argumentive, and fustrating. We also made posters that were meant to explain what we do in Yes-2-Tech through words and illustrations. My group didn't finish, but we explained what we did, achieved, and pland to do in the future pretty thoroughly. Then we talked about how technology has changed over the years and made posters on that. Then I did an interview about what's like being in the Yes-2-Tech program which went pretty well for the most part. When I returned to the room, the group was doing something with cabbage juice and strips. It had something to do with ph levels that range from 1 to 14(the highest being basic and the lowest being acid). And now I'm blogging. And now I'm finished.

While I was searching on instructables.com, I came across a rather interesting wind turbine. Now before i came across some other ones I thought were pretty cool, but some other people beat me to it, but this one's no that bad either. It's a DIY 1000 watt wind turbine( as seen on http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-1000-watt-wind-turbine/) that these guys use to power their home. It's a nine step process according to them and it seems pretty easy to follow. As far as my group, Yes-2-Tech, I think we should try to look for something more spectacular, but this is still pretty cool and not that difficult to make and something I might try to make.

I was looking for information about turbines for the windmill. I came across some rather intriguing information on Solardyne.com. There was this windmill called the whisper 500 that has a high voltage of 220. If you click on the link the site will try to hustle you. We also tested Nitrite, Nitrate, Ammonia, and pH of the water samples from the tank. We only received results from Ammonia and pH, it was still pretty interesting though.
