Today was a good day. In college prep we talked with Diane about the changes made in the Y.E.S. program. She asked us how we felt about it all and we told her. After speaking with Diane we went into our components. My component is Design It. In my component we are making ovens out of materials you can find at home. We used cardboard boxes for the actual oven. You start off by cutting the flaps off the top of the box. Then you cut a door and a window into the box leaving their flaps connected to them. After that you cut a hole in the front of the box for the light bulb. Now you make a top for the box. When you’re done making the top you must insulate the box so that the heat won’t be able to escape. You’re going to need all the heat you can get if you want the oven to get hot enough to actually cook something. Place the light bulb into the oven and plug it into an extension card. That’s as far as my group got today. I’ll tell you the rest next time I’m back on. Have a great week. This is Aaron and I’m out.
