~ Engineering success!!... and fails.. ~

S̄wạs̄dī `Macaroni!

(that's hello in Thai, and yes you are no longer potatoes, you are all macaroni)

It's been a while since I've posted ey? I've been sick and busy.  I'm getting my braces off on Wednesday, I'm really excited! I'll be able to eat popcorn and liquorice again! Anyway, on with the post!

For inquiry lately, we've been looking at rockets and engineering.

We've talked about what it's like to be an engineer and we've chosen our teams and chosen our roles, I'm in the team called RAMEN, Here's our logo (made by me and my friend Nikita):

 RAMEN has 3 members, Me, Leticia, and Nikita

Anyway, last week we started making parachutes.  We need to make them so our rockets (which we'll make and launch later in the term) have a slow and safe descent [fall].  

RAMEN's first parachute test was a big success! just over 2 seconds! The parachute opened really well and everything worked perfectly!

The second (and last) test, wasn't as good, the parachute didn't open, I think it's because of the extra 'wings' I added, so in the real thing, I think I'm going to get rid of them. (if the whole team agrees of course)

And that's about it!

I hope you enjoyed reading this week's post! I had a lot of fun writing it! I'll see you all next week!

Cya!
