This week in MPX

For the last couple of weeks in MPX for joint periods we have been working on electric bikes and physics videos. In STEM we have been working on math and in Humanity's we are working on our dystopia project. The thing that I am favoring most in MPX is currently our work on electric bikes. I find working on electric bikes to be very difficult and that is why I enjoy it. In the other MPX classes we have worked on solving math questions and in English we are working on coding as well as programming for a text adventure game. I am really enjoying the bike because building it is very difficult and there are many aspects that make it a lot of fun. I have had a lot of fun in MPX however it is very difficult and there are many projects going around.

The most difficult item I did this week was cutting the motor plate. I learned this week was how to cut the metal motor mounting plate. It was very difficult to cut the metal piece however when we got a new sawing bit it became really easy. I then had to grind down the metal piece because it had many small shrapnel pieces sticking out of it. I fixed it and it stuck on the bike. It stuck on the bike really well. I was beginning to get nervous and wondering if it wouldn't work. I was really scared because if it couldn't work than our year long project was pretty much over however we found that cutting it would be a viable solution.
