Applied Inventiontronics, Period 4 - Week 7

[a-no-brainer.livejournal.com]

The desks were paired off again, each with a set of tools, and there was a crate full of completely modable spare parts.

Yes, kids, it is project time again, and Glitch was standing at the front of the class looking very delighted by the whole thing. Really, this was probably his favorite kind of class to teach.

"Alright, class," he said with a smile. "Today, you're going to build something out of nothing. Pick up some parts and start to put them together. Don't worry if you can't get it to work or don't have a set design for it. It doesn't even have to have a real function, if you can't find one, heh. The point of this is for you to get an idea of what it's like to start building something with these materials."

There may or may not have been a moment or two where he bounced ever so slightly, but those moments should be ignored.

"And don't forget that after next weeks break, you'll need to be ready to bring in your preliminary designs for your final projects."

Nothing like ending the lecture on something to strike fear into the hearts of his students, though that wasn't entirely intended.

[ooc: The OCD is a work in progress up!]

And a project-buddy.

Andrew sat down at one of the desks and started playing with the tools.

Anathema sat down next to Andrew, an arm full of gears with her. "Hi. Any ideas?"

Bridge, perhaps not surprisingly, is pretty bouncy himself once he learns what the topic of today's class is.

[ooc: and I run away to work. Sandwich gods willing, should be back around 2 PST.]

Willow gave Bridge a wave. "Wanna be a desk-buddy?"

...Liir was staying as far from Andrew as he possibly could and everyone else as well.

Dark corners, obviously, were very productive places to be.

Hiding in dark corners, of course, just made him look like he needed a friend. "Oh, man," said Sokka, as he sat down next to Liir. "Did you lose a paint fight, or is this just Fandom weirdness?"

Now this, A.J. could do. Of course, he was wondering if it counted if all he ended up making out of the parts was just art.

Since A.J. didn't seem to be paired up yet, Jaina asked, "Still need a partner?"

Rodney had a thoughtful look on his face as he considered what he might build today.

Rikku sat down, looking around for a partner, and -- ooooooh! Wires!

Spare Parts? (2/18)

[a-no-brainer.livejournal.com]

Make something! Or, not...

Re: Spare Parts? (2/18)

[wannabe-pan.livejournal.com]

Andrew wasn't paying much attention to the parts he was grabbing out of the crate. He was looking over towards Liir, trying to convince himself that Liir was just really busy and intent on his work and not avoiding him.

He also kept glancing up at the lights, wondering where that odd green tint around Liir was coming from.

Re: Spare Parts? (2/18)

Sokka started by picking up a few circuit boards and a battery, and wiring them all together randomly. Partly because he had very little idea how electronics worked (and thus they were fun), and partly because there were limits to what one could do with clockwork (or so he thought, having never seen Ozian clockwork).

"What do you think?" he asked Liir, displaying his handiwork proudly.

Re: Spare Parts? (2/18)

Closing his eyes with one hand, A.J. rifled through the crate until he decided on something and pulled it out. He lifted his hand, hovering it over his forehead as he took a peek, and then held out what looked an awful lot like a tailpipe for Jaina to see.

"Well," he stated, doubtfully, while peering in to see if he could have pulled out anything better. "I'm sure this is a great place to start..."

Re: Spare Parts? (2/18)

[mrodneymckay.livejournal.com]

Rodney began looking through the spare parts to see if he could find something with which to build a robot arm. He was just glad that Glitch wasn't requiring this to be a useful creation.

TA (2/18)

[a-no-brainer.livejournal.com]

That girl that helps with stuff can help you. With stuff. Preferably, class-related stuff.

Re: TA (2/18)

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow was happy to be there for nearly all stuff-related needs.

After Class (2/18)

[a-no-brainer.livejournal.com]

For all your post-inventiontronics class Glitch needs.

Re: After Class (2/18)

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Liir didn't even speak. He just walked up at the end of class and pushed his hair aside once everyone was gone.

Doom stopped by after class. "Hi, Professor! Doom just wanted to let you know that the time spent in Special Collections really helped and that I really appreciate that pass a lot."

OOC (2/18)

[a-no-brainer.livejournal.com]

I listen to strange music. (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YTKCPQL1) And yes, it was necessary to share that.

If I don't respond to pings in a timely manner (I've been really out of it lately, sorry) feel free to hit me on AIM with a brick or something equally heavy and damaging.
