Day 1
BRAINSTORMING
Date:
Our brainstorming actually only lasted for a day. How did this happen? How could us, only brainstorm for only a single day? One reason was because one of us (Ron Mikhael C. Surara) have actually encountered this in his club last year, the Physics Club (Go Builders' Club!)
Our first idea was the Big Ben, because it looked cool int the shelf. We decided to revise the building to become Big Ben and Pentagon (Also called UK-US Partnership)
Big Ben and the Pentagon
It was a cool idea. We decided to push that building, but we encountered a very difficult problem: How can you draw a perfect pentagon? This problem lead us to revise our building for another time. Our new building was the Big Ben beside the Octagon!
Big Ben beside the Octagon
It was brilliant! We started with the octagon. Creating the octagon itself was quite easy, boring if you must say. So we decided the add more details to the Octagon. We added a hole at the middle, inclining things at the smaller edges, windows, entrance, and stairs ('cause stairs are awesome, look at the Mayan Pyramid for proofs) Before we added the stairs, we saw that the building was already perfect. We then removed the Big Ben, the final idea was finished. Our building will be called The Octagon.
The Octagon
With our building almost already finished at this point, we knew that this will be the final design. We removed the stairs and we painted it. It was beautiful.
But hey, this was the flow of ideas. Some of this occured the following days, but these are needed to be said.

Flashlight Holder
2ND ACTIVITY
FLASHLIGHT HOLDER
The second task is a tad bit harder. Imagine the following situation:
" You're doing your nightly duties, nothing important....just a very ordinary night....very un-unique.....hmm-hmm-hmmm. Then...BOOM.....blackout! "My game! No! I'm gonna get reported, oh no. I'll be called a 'quiter', no! Wait, I haven't done my assignment! Where's my flashlight? I can't find it!" and your sad life continues..."
Now here's the question: How could you have avoided the situation? Complain to the electric cooperative? Nope, it ain't gonna work. The correct answer is to create another complex project: The Flashlight Holder!
The Flashlight Holder is an object that could hold flashlights (You couldn't have guess that, right?) When darkness, comes it will light up so that you could easily locate your flashlight. But here's the thing, it should shape-borrow from buildings. It's harder than the last activity, just so you know.

HOW TO MAKE A FLASHLIGHT KEYTAG
Materials:
Materials:
- 1 / 8 Illustration Board
- Masking Tape
- LED
- Resistor
- 3V Battery
Steps:
- Draw 6 rectangles measuring something by something.
- Draw 2 circles and 2 lines inside each rectangles. The 2 lines must touch an edge.
- Trace the lines of each rectangle to create a single shape.
- Choose the best design for the keytag.
- Create more of the chosen design for more layers.
- Plan the circuit.
- Attach the circuit onto the "middle layer".
- Tape all the layers together.
- Add some finishing touch.
There you have it, your very own Flashlight Keytag! Just add it to your collection of keychains.
Flashlight Keytag
1ST ACTIVITY:
FLASHLIGHT KEYTAG
For our first task, we were given this scenario:
" After a long day, you and your girlfriend have finally decided to go home. It was already dark when the two of you reached your home, so you thought that you should already go inside to avoid the hideous criminals of the night! You grabbed the key and reached for the door knob, but..... "Where's the door knob?" It was so dark! You can't see anything, including the door knob. Ohhhh! Bad for you. Now, how could you avoid the situation? "
After some deep thinking, I finally found the answer! Since its my house, of course I know where the door knob is, only an ignorant or forgetful person would not know. Unfortunately, the correct answer was to create a "Flashlight Keytag"! Too-too-to-tooooot! Easy right?
4th Quarter
ELECTRONICS
Another quarter has ended, and another quarter has arrived. Finally, the last quarter for the school year 2015 - 2016 has arrived. This is most likely our last quarter with ADTech, ever.
For our last tasks in ADTech, we were introduced to a new friend, "Electronics". Unlike our previous projects, we were not only tasked to create something innovative but also to create circuits (that's new!)
Meet us...
