September 16-22, 2011

The retreat went pretty well this week-end. Every body got along pretty well. Ledge talked about our team history and the importance of being in the team. As an activity we played caterpillar, which involved the team working together to move from one end to the other by picking each others weight with our feet.  More than half of the time most of the students participated in capture the flag. Mr. Haverkamp and Mr. Jones played the first game of capture the flag. At night we looked at the stars(there was a lot of stars). A lot of the students played chubby bunny. By the way Preston beat Elizabeth's record of 23 by 2. In the morning the girls and I got stuck making breakfast for everyone else while the boys went to hike a mountain near us. When we finished eating breakfast most of the students went to go play capture the flag before we packed up and left. I believe it was a pretty great experience although if we had more time it would be better for more team building. Monday we did not stay after school because Ledge had to attend a meeting. Although the programming workshop was still held at four. Tuesday Bianca and I worked on connecting the buss on the AUVSI robot. After that we looked at how the fiber optic tether. It was pretty awesome in my point of view. On Wednesday Bianca and I worked on updating the requirement list. We saw the torpedo being launched. Every one got excited when it got launched and the freshmen laughed when the torpedo was shot straight and didn't curve. Today Thursday, Bianca added the journals, public events and attendance spreadsheet to the requirement's list.I worked on any paper that had or could be done. I will be checking journals right after this.
