2. The Fab Lab

2 The Fab Lab After the assembly, we walked a million hundred miles back to Mr. Cooper's class. He wears a cape and thinks he's a superhero. Nobody knows why. "Turn to page twenty-three in your math books," said Mr. Cooper. Ugh. I hate math. I got out my math book. But you'll never believe who

集会结束后，我们走了一百万英里回到库珀先生的教室。 他披着斗篷，觉得自己是个超级英雄。 没人知道为什么。“翻到数学课本的第二十三页，”库珀先生说。 啊。我讨厌数学。我拿出我的数学书。 但你绝对不会相信是谁

walked into the door at that moment. Nobody! You could break your nose by walking into a door. But you'll never believe who walked into the doorway. It was Miss Aker! "Hey kids!" she shouted. "It's Maker Movement time! Follow me!"

就在那一刻走进了门。 没有人!你可能会因为撞到门而摔伤鼻子。 但你绝对不会相信谁走进了门口。 是阿克小姐！“嘿，孩子们！”她喊道。 “创客运动时代到了！”跟我来!”

Mr. Cooper slammed his math book shut. We all followed Miss Aker and walked a million hundred miles. "Where are we going?" asked Alexia. "To a secret room," said Miss Aker.

库珀先生砰地一声合上数学书。 我们都跟着阿克小姐走了一百万英里。 “我们要去哪儿？”阿列克谢亚问。 “去一间密室，"阿克小姐说。

Oooh, secret rooms are cool, because they have secrets in them.* Miss Aker led us to a locked door. I had never been in this room before. I heard a rumor that it was a dungeon where bad kids get tortured. Miss Aker used a key to unlock the door. It opened with a creak. "I'm scared," said Emily, who's scared of everything. Miss Aker flipped on the light. "Welcome to our Maker Space!" she said excitedly. "I call it the Fab Lab, because it's fabulous." You won't believe what was in the Fab Lab. The shelves were filled with boxes of plastic cups, Ping-Pong balls, PVC pipe, Popsicle sticks, string, clothespins, paper clips, straws, balloons, bottle caps, duct tape, paper bags, plastic bottles, Q-tips, rubber bands, toothpicks, masking tape, glue, tacks, and all kinds of

密室很酷，因为里面有秘密。阿克小姐把我们带到一扇锁着的门前。 我以前从没来过这个房间。 我听说那是个地牢，坏孩子会被折磨。 阿克小姐用钥匙打开了门。 门嘎吱一声打开了。“我害怕，”爱米丽说，她什么都害怕。 阿克小姐打开了灯。 “欢迎来到我们的创客空间！”她兴奋地说。 “我把它叫做‘Fab Lab’，因为它太棒了。” 你不会相信Fab Lab里有什么。 货架上摆满了一盒盒的塑料杯、乒乓球、PVC管、冰棒棒、绳子、衣夹、回形针、吸管、气球、瓶盖、管道胶带、纸袋、塑料瓶、棉签、橡皮筋、牙签、胶带、胶水、图钉和各种各样的东西

other stuff. What a bunch of junk! "Is it garbage day?" I asked. "No!" said Miss Aker. "We can use these things to make other things."

其他的东西。真是一堆垃圾！“今天是垃圾日吗？”我问。 “不！”阿克小姐说。“我们可以用这些东西来制造其他东西。”

That's when our art teacher, Ms. Hannah, came into the room. She was

那就是我们的美术老师。 汉娜走进房间。 她是
