This week, I've been improving my skills with the Vinyl cutter. We learned to use the new program called AutoCAD which allows us to make 2D or 3D designs. We learned the basic commands for this program, such as lines, circles, and rectangles. We also learned how to use object snap and polar tracking, which allows us to make a line point at a certain angle, and snapped two lines together to create a connected angle. The AutoCAD program allows us to use the 3D printer, or the Plasma cutter. I'm excited to learn how to use those two machines, and to learn how to use the other machines in the shop next year.
The essential question for this week was where all of our waste goes. The Laguna waste water treatment facility treats millions of gallons of waste a day. The waste from Rancho Cotate High School, and from the homes around the city travel to this facility through the sewer system. There are three stages to the treatment process: the primary stage, the secondary stage, the tertiary stage. there are over five-hundred underground pipes leading to the Laguna waste water facility.
