    Invisibility Post

        With an invisibility cloak I can do many things.Here are some of the good things I would do.I would stop a bank robber,save someone in a horrible incident, stop a murder. I would capture a Mexican Drug Lord and bring him to justice. I would also help an old lady cross the street and save a cruise ship from being hijacked by pirates. I would help a lost blind person find there why home. I would have another season of Breaking Bad be produced.

        Invisibility can help many people. It can help with a lot of military . I would stop North Korea from making a nuke and stop them from launching it. I can stop terrorism in America and stop bullies from bullying others.

    Hundreds of cyborg insects carrying radio transmitters like backpacks may one day scurry in to help emergency responders survey damaged or contaminated buildings after an earthquake, chemical spill or nuclear reactor accident. The cyborg bugs could give responders a quick picture of the environment, under conditions that may be dangerous to rescuers.The insect which is a Madagascar hissing cockroach has its own behavior and programming from nature.Meaning that when you set bugs free they tend to run around all over the place. People can exploit that random movement to work in our favor.

    Mechanical Engineering

         A curriculum my school should offer is Mechanical Engineering. The classes can meet during and after school  every Tuesday and Thursday at a body shop such as a Pep Boys. Students there can learn how engines in cars and other vehicles work and how they are made. They will learn how to create their own engine. The teacher should be a Mechanic or engineer and be able to teach about how engines work and how to build one.
         The class should look, feel, and sound like a mechanical shop. There are many ways for students to show they learn. there will be test on what they learned and projects were you build what you learned. As a finale exame students should build a small engine for a small toy car. I'm sure many people would like to take Mechanical Engineering.
