Scientific week
It has been an exciting week for the boys, with their experiments for science fair in Natural Sciences.
Although there was not much time to rehearse and plan, Beba's work has been to demonstrate the electrical circuit using a cardboard spell lighthouse. Although simple, the best thing it has had is that the report and the exhibition were developed entirely in English, because it has been in Bilingual since Kindergarten (the boy did not achieve that happiness).
Also the scribbles of his handwriting were totally original with the exception of the upper title. Although he had a not very pleasant taste for not having qualified for the next phase. For the next one, we will have to plan something less simple, that develops their innate skills. It is clear that his field is not pure research, but oratory, mathematics and art; strange combination that resembles Nazi architecture and tyranny.
While Boy's work is another level. At this point it is a renewal of Stand since it has already won first place at the level of the five sections of First Course, so its pressure is to compete with the whole school. Good motivation considering her first spell robot proposal didn't seem interesting to the teacher.
He has been in this for more than a month, with two colleagues whom I have had to take and bring since they started that methane gas stove. It was kind of disgusting, because they videotaped the moment when they collected garbage, including dog excrement; They made a tremendous mess with the mother because they already spoiled the bowl of salads that it seems they will deduct from their remittances.
It was worth it when after 15 days of having it finally covered the methane ignited at the end of the hose, just had to throw some cooking oil on the stove spell so it did not turn on dry.
Also for him it is a second time that he has won at this, when he was in Fourth Grade we made a complete house with light bulbs and a switch panel to show how much he could save financially by limiting the use of one, two, or more lights on. That time he won first place in the whole school, it was a great job that the two of us carried out, the house had been made with a box of the Kodak Printer and the ceiling with the box of the weekend's Pizza, then we painted it with tempera and we left a side hole where the two plants were fully decorated from the existing toys.
This is another artist, although more graphic and associated with technology.
These good practices remind me of my school days when we made a transistor tester, a device that today would have almost zero utility but in those days it was what any radio repair technician occupied. Great job, although it was out of context because it was of little interest to the generality of visitors on the ground floor of the National Congress, it was also tedious and complicated to explain to the jury and teachers what the NPN polarity meant, since the device also allowed testing polarity and continuity, which we learned when a dedicated electronics technician became interested in the toy.
Ah, precious days those days, Griselda, the girl with the short circuits of the heart was right in front of us and she smiled at us from time to time although we never knew who of the three nerds the smile was dedicated. El Chele, Obesso y Hulk (me), well I had that nickname for a couple of years; the first one was dedicated to that subject, now he is an electronics technician and has a good workshop full of bones, the second ended up being a lawyer and I… a technological poet.
I remember that in school, we made, so to speak, "a radio station": We created a little program in visual basic 6.0, emulating a music player, we also changed the frequency of a wireless microphone, which instead of receiving, will send to a certain frequency. That microphone connected to the computer and the player in visual basic, in addition to finding the right frequency on a radio player (it had to be digital radio, because the frequency of the microphone was even, not odd as it happens in normal radio, 100.4, instead of 100.5) And with this we played the music we wanted, something super interesting turned out….
Yeah, great job.
The graphics on the methane gas stove were very good.
