Design Brief

      The Army is having trouble delivering arms and medical supplies to some freedom fighters in South America. The cargo they drop either breaks or lands upside down. So the Army has hired me to build a device that implements directional control and impact absorption but the trick is that I only have $50 as a budget
     The thing that I liked the most about this project is the story behind it. I've been dreaming of being an engineer my whole life so doing this project really fun. Unfortunately my project was a failure because it did land right but the egg still broke. The basket caring the egg was a little too low and there was no parachute because we had no more money in our budget. I believe that if the whole design could be changed to a less expensive model the we could have achieved accomplished our mission. I don't think that having a different partner would have altered the situation we worked really well and I'm glad he was my partner.

Social media sites can be used for positive activities, like connecting kids with friends and family, helping students with school, and for entertainment. But these tools can also be used to hurt other people. Whether done in person or through technology, the effects of bullying are similar."(stopbullying.gov) We believe that cyber bullying is not the worst thing that a human can do to another human but it is a terrible thing that we wish would not exist.

Current Event

In the article " The weirdest things recently found on Mars" written by Adam Mann some really weird things have been discovered on the Red planet. Things like ice spiders and perfectly round lava channels have been seen through the lens of Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter which has been in orbit around Mars since 2006. The orbiter's camera HiRISE can resolve things about a meter wide. The most weirdest things are maybe the most beautiful because we don't know much about the Red planet.
