This course introduces students to a variety of tools and processes in technology and Engineering. We are beginning the semester gaining skills to design in CAD. They will next draw the Mendocino Motor in CAD before fabricating it in wood and wiring it for use.
The Mendocino Motor is a magnetically levitating solar powered motor. Students make the entire motor from raw materials, wood, wire, solar cells magnets and a mirror. At the end of this project, they will have been exposed to working with wood and electricity, and they will have a nifty little motor.
Podcasting is a new medium, similar to radio broadcasting. Students will write and record their own podcasts, which can be played on any mp3 player, and can be posted on the internet for people all over the world to download and listen to.
