This week gave us few times to work on our projects. Monday we had no school. Tuesday we had a guest speaker that talked to our team about student businesses and how they assisted them. For the remainder of class we finished watching the movie Spare Parts. Wednesday was one of two days that we had time to work on our project. Thursday we had a half day and fitness test. Scott gave us a class survey and that took up most of my day. Friday was the second day of the week where we had time to work on our projects.
Tuesday I didn't get a chance to work on my project because of the guest speaker and because we watched the movie for most of the day.

Wednesday I started on CAD. I didn't know how to use CAD so I asked my good friend Jack to help me out. I started to get the hang of the program after a few minutes of working on it. On the top we made one hole. We thought there had to be an easy way of multiplying the holes. We asked Scott for help. He showed us then we did it again to correct it to the right size hole. After that I asked my partner how big the holes on the side should be for the speakers. He told me 6 inches. This was a problem. The box was 6 inches tall. I asked Jack if we could change the height. He tried a few things but he couldn't figure out how to. I had to remake it. Since I had already done it it was pretty simple to remake. That took us to the end of class.
Thursday I did the survey. My partner Myles said we needed something called an amplifier. I asked Mike if he knew what it was and if he had one in his room or in the sound room. It turns out he did have one. He let us use it. We only had about 30 minutes to work because we had a half day and fitness test.
Friday we finished the CAD drawing. I had to make the bow hollow and make sure all the holes were correct. To make it hollow Scott told us to use the shell tool. That worked. When we used the shell took it took off the bottom of the box. That was a quick fix. After I put a square to cover the place that opened up I was done. Once I finished Jack emailed his dads friend that would help us out. He didn't get back to us during class. While I was working on CAD my partner worked on the speakers for the box.
