Thursday I started the day off with updating an older computer that we plan on donating to the ARC of Monroe. In order to do this, I had to download and update software so that the computer can work quickly and be user- friendly for whoever may deal with it next.
Around 11 am, Aaron, the mechanical engineer I am working with, removed my "fake hand" from the softer shell that surrounded it. The hand was very good, however it was somewhat unbalanced, which meant we had to do it over again at some point. Since my hand was obviously not meant to be held flat, we decided to use his hand instead. When mixing the liquids, the substance solidified way too early and we ended up having an unsuccessful attempt at the new mold. On the bright side, we have ordered a new material that should be easier and more accurate. After this trial, Aaron showed me around the mechanical engineering machinery, which was overwhelmingly impressive and interesting.
After lunch, I finished organizing the donor computers and they will be shipped out soon. It felt good to have completed a task such as this.
