Parents, please STOP dropping your students off in the student parking. I appeal to every parent because complaints were sent to us that parents themselves do not adhere to the school parking rules. Please do not wait for an accident to happen because you cut that one student driver just to send off your child. It is unfair to use their parking while sending off or waiting for your child. They can be late because you took their spot while waiting or dropping off your child. Please join us in making the student parking lot safe.

Do you want your discovery to be known? Write your research and compete in the STEM fair STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. Over the next few months, you will choose your own research project that contains one or all of the STEM elements and conduct an investigation to seek the answer to your project’s question. This home project will enable you to combine reading, writing, math, data analysis, and scientific inquiry all on a topic that you have chosen! During the past consecutive two years, CMIt N High School places in the Top three's and two at the Regional Level. Your project might be the next for the National level. Please email your STEM fair proposal to gclarke@cmitacademy.org

Team Illusion and the Green Club are about to swap out the old solar experiment from last year with the production version of a solar power supply for the next round of experiments. Keep you eyes open and watch the new installation take shape. We are going to double the solar panel count and add a commercial grade container for the batteries, plus a new clock that will run entirely off the solar system. This will leave us in great position as we work out the details of a year round aquaponics setup. We will keep the weather station, but put it into a new location. Did you know that you can monitor the stations? It is the Team Illusion weather Station a Ambient Weather. https://ambientweather.net/dashboard/91396fee78fda0d03f1c0f986a67a11f

For the Science Olympiad, we have learned a couple of things. One is that the Arduino Uno included with the Science Olympiad uses laptops and not Chromebooks. Detector building, in the meantime, is using my personal TI nSpire CX II graphing calculator and the school's TI Innovator Hub. Last Saturday we discussed how this could be done and what steps we will have to go through. To make an LED light, we had to connect the shorter lead to +5 volts (an active digital pin) and the longer lead to a 220-ohm resistor that is then connected to the ground. When the digital pin is raised to a high state, the LED lights, when it is set low, the LED turns off. On Monday we will have a working set of displays and will be ready to begin the capturing of data for the mass detector. The web editor for the Chromebook is at https://cloud.arduino.cc For WiFi, we are going to construct a simple dipole antenna and see how it performs compared to the 31 mm monopole that is used for setting the threshold values for the competition. A dipole antenna consists of two elements (as the name implies) cut to exact measurements relative to the wavelength of the radio signal it is supposed to generate. There is a site that can do the calculations for you. It is located at https://www.changpuak.ch/electronics/yagi_uda_antenna_DL6WU.php and will do the calculations for a Yagi antenna as well as the folded dipole and the standard dipole. The largest yagi we could build has a 9 dBd gain. You can learn more about antenna gain and what dBd means at https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/docs/lorawan/db-dbm-dbi-dbd/
