3. Making Droney

3 Making Droney The next morning, Mr. Cooper came running into class, tripped over somebody's backpack, and almost crashed into the garbage can. Mr. Cooper is no superhero. In fact, he's the opposite of a superhero. He got up and brushed himself off. "Okay, let's get started," said Mr.

第二天早上，库珀先生跑进教室，被一个人的背包绊倒了，差点撞到垃圾桶里。 库珀不是超级英雄。 事实上，他是超级英雄的反面。 他站起来，掸了掸身上的毛。 “好吧，我们开始吧。”

Cooper. "We have a lot of ground to make up. Turn to page twenty-three in your math books." Ugh. I got out my math book. But you'll never believe who poked her head into the door at that moment. Nobody! Why would you poke your head into a door? Doors are made out of wood. I thought we went over that in Chapter Two. But you'll never believe who poked her head into the doorway. It was Miss Aker! "Hey kids!" she shouted. "It's Maker Movement time! Follow me!" Mr. Cooper slammed his math book shut, closed his eyes, and rubbed his forehead. Grown-ups are always rubbing their foreheads. If you ask me, they need to use moisturizer. "What are we going to make today, Miss Aker?" asked Andrea as we walked to the Fab Lab.

库珀。“我们还有很多需要弥补的地方。 翻到数学课本的第二十三页。” 啊。我拿出我的数学书。 但你绝对不会相信那一刻是谁探出头来的。 没有人!你为什么要把头伸进门里？ 门是用木头做的。 我想我们在第二章已经讲过了。 但你绝对不会相信是谁从门口探出头来的。 是阿克小姐！“嘿，孩子们！”她喊道。 “创客运动时代到了！”跟我来!”库珀先生猛地合上数学书，闭上眼睛，揉了揉额头。 大人们总是在揉额头。 如果你问我，我会说他们需要用保湿霜。 “阿克小姐，我们今天要做什么？”我们走向Fab Lab时，安德里亚问。

"Can we make more cupcake cars?" Ryan asked. "They were yummy." "We made cupcake cars yesterday," said Miss Aker. "Let's make something different today." The door to the Fab Lab was already open. And you'll never believe who was in there. It was Mrs. Yonkers, our computer teacher! "I have a donation for the Fab Lab," said Mrs. Yonkers as she plugged some weird-looking machine into an outlet. "Thank you!" said Miss Aker. "The teachers have been so generous." "What is it?" we all asked. "It's a 3D printer," explained Mrs. Yonkers. "Back in the olden days, you could only use a computer to print on paper. Now we can print objects." "Like what kind of objects?" asked Neil.

“我们能制造更多的纸杯蛋糕车吗？”瑞恩问道。 “它们很好吃。”“我们昨天做了纸杯蛋糕车，”阿克小姐说。 “让我们今天做点不一样的东西。” Fab Lab的门已经打开了。 你绝对不会相信谁在里面。 是扬克斯夫人，我们的电脑老师！“我有一笔捐款要捐给Fab Lab，”扬克斯太太一边说，一边把一个样子奇怪的机器插到插座上。 “谢谢你！”阿克小姐说。 “老师们都很慷慨。” “这是什么？”我们都问。 “这是一台3D打印机，”扬克斯太太解释说。 “在过去，你只能用电脑在纸上打印。 现在我们可以打印物体了。” “比如什么样的物体？”尼尔问。

"Just about anything," replied Mrs. Yonkers. "You could make replacement parts for a broken toy. Or a statue. Or a doll. I thought you kids might be able to

“什么都行，”扬克斯太太回答。 “你可以为一个坏了的玩具制作替换零件。 或者是一座雕像。或者一个洋娃娃。我以为你们这些孩子可以

come up with some fun ideas." 3D printing sounded cool. "Could you use a 3D printer to print out another 3D printer?" I asked. "It would be cool to print a printer on your printer." "I don't see why not," said Mrs. Yonkers. "Could we print a robot?" I suggested. Robots are cool. "That's a marvelous idea!" said Miss Aker. And you'll never believe who walked into the door at that moment. Nobody! People don't walk into doors.* But you'll never believe who walked into the doorway. It was Mr. Docker, our science teacher. "Did somebody say robot?" asked Mr. Docker. "I did," I said.

想出一些有趣的想法。” 3D打印听起来很酷。“你能用一台3D打印机打印出另一台3D打印机吗？”我问。 “在你的打印机上打印一台打印机会很酷。” “我看没什么不可以的，”扬克斯太太说。 “我们能打印机器人吗？”我建议。 机器人很酷。“好主意！”阿克小姐说。 你绝对不会相信那一刻谁走进来了。 没有人!人们不会走进门里。但你绝对不会相信谁走进了门口。 是多克先生，我们的科学老师。 “有人说机器人吗？”多克先生问。 “是的，”我说。

"I love robots!" said Mr. Docker and Mrs. Yonkers at the same time. We all agreed that making a robot on the 3D printer would be cool. "I have an idea," said Ryan. "Let's make a flying robot!" "I have an idea," said Neil. "Let's make a flying robot that can talk!" "I have an idea," said Andrea. "Let's make a flying, talking robot that's really smart!" "I have an idea," said Alexia. "Let's make a flying, talking robot that's really smart and can shoot marshmallows!" We had lots of ideas. Mr. Docker and Mrs. Yonkers used the computer to help us design a smart robot that could fly, talk, and shoot marshmallows. We all worked on it as a team. It took a long time. But I didn't mind, because we were getting out of math. When we were finished designing our

“我爱机器人！”多克先生和扬克斯太太同时说。 我们都认为用3D打印机制作机器人很酷。 “我有个主意，”瑞恩说。 “让我们做一个会飞的机器人吧！”“我有个主意，”尼尔说。 “让我们做一个会说话的飞行机器人吧！”“我有一个主意，”安德烈说。 “让我们制造一个会飞、会说话的机器人，它真的很聪明！”“我有个主意，”亚历克西娅说。 “让我们做一个会飞、会说话的机器人，它非常聪明，还能射棉花糖！”我们有很多想法。 多克先生和扬克斯太太用电脑帮我们设计了一个会飞、会说话、还会打棉花糖的智能机器人。 我们都是一个团队。 花了很长时间。但我不介意，因为我们已经不讲数学了。 当我们设计完我们的
