What I learned:
This final project was very intimidating at first. I was wondering how I would use 3 different machines when I couldn't always remember how to work programs and use certain machines. This unit taught me that even though you learned things, you will have to refresh yourself on those things. This final project also helped me learn to be resourceful by looking for papers from previous units and asking for help when needed. Overall, I was surprised that I was able to make the working clock with only a couple classes but it ended up teaching me a lot about machinery and even life skills.
