Shop Class; Thursday, Second Period [03/18].

Hopefully, everyone in class would remember to bring back in what they'd made during last week's whittling class for this week, but, hey, if not (did they forget? Lose it? It disappeared yesterday under mysterious circumsntances?), well, there was plenty of material to whip something else up, so long as it was quick, because there was plenty to do that day.

"Welcome back, everyone," Amaya greeted the class with a nod. "I hope you're ready to get some more use out of those mini-foundries we made a little while back, and we've got a lot to squeeze into today, s we're going to get right to it. Now I asked you to bring back in whatever it was you whittled last week, because today, we're putting them to good use through a process called sand casting. That's when you make a mold out of tightly packed, slightly damp sand for founding whatever little pieces you'd like with the pattern you've made. Not necessarily the best way to cast an item, but definitely an effective, quick, and fairly cheap way to do it, and hopefully a little bit of fun, too.

Sand Casting! )

"Let me know if you have any questions, I'll be checking in on you as you work, and let's just get to it!"

Advanced Teamwork, Thursday, March 18, 2021

Instead of the normal teachers for class today, the students would find a couple of detectives from the Trooper Station. "Captain Rogers contacted me yesterday," Steve began, "and he and Mr. Stark were unable to return for class today. So Detective Williams and I will be working on your survival instincts. That's why we're in this cool simulator--so your mistakes aren't fatal."

Well, that was a reassuring way to begin.

"Also because of safety regulations," Danny added dryly. "Because wild boars are mean."

"That's what makes it fun, Danny," Steve said.

"That's what gets you sued, Steven," Danny replied. "The boar isn't real, but please don't try doing this in real life."

"You can totally try this in real life," Steve said, nodding, "as long as you have the knife skills."

"This is exactly what nearly got us kicked out of the Aloha Scouts," Danny muttered under his breath, rubbing at the bridge of his nose. "This right here."

Steve ignored him. "So we'll practice knife throwing using these palm trees as targets, then go catch a boar, okay?"
