Hello Fellow Teens,

Today we went to the main building and went to a Engineering Career Convention. I learned some new things about technology from Mr. Murphy. I got some really cool websites so that i can go home and "study" with. I really enjoyed myself and i cant wait until next week.

Teaching at Confluence is very entertaining, the kids are so amusing. They have alot of character, but I still cant wait until this session is over. Next week we are going to be show them the stars in our homoemade planetarium. Its going to be a blast, just wait and see.

Dear Fellow YES Teens,

Hey how's it going, great. We're no longer at EHLA now we're at Confluence Academy. Teaching at Confluence is fun, we have alot of kids of different of races. The kids are HILARIOUS and smarter than i imagined.  i am looking forward to doing more activities with them and i hope this summer turns out GREAT!!!!

today we had to do these six projects that were reallyh interesting 

they were really sensitive to sound and  i wud love to do this again 

My name is Kevin and today we made sketch robots. I made my sketch robot out of: 4 clothes pins, 1 Dixie cup, 1 motor, 1 AAA battery, 1 craft stick, 1 marker, and some tape. How I made the sketch robot is I put the 4 clothes pins on the rim of the cup and I spaced them out evenly.Then I flipped the cup upside down. Then I put the craft stick the spinning part of the motor. Then I put the motor with the craft stick on the top of the cup (which is really the bottom). Then I put together the motor to the battery and I put some tape on the battery and put it on the side of the cup. I then put the marker on the side of the cup and i put it low enough to touch the paper so it could draw.

My name is Kevin and we teach little kids as they come and go so if I was to ask myself if I saw myself as a teacher now I would say yes I do. We teach little kids all kinds of stuff from when they come to when they go. If thats not a teacher I don't know what is. We're not professionals or anything, but we are still good at what we do. We teach the kids and make sure they have fun while they are here. The easiest part of teaching is walking them out the door. there really isn't anything easy about teaching, you have to teach them while making sure they aren't bored. The hardes
