== The Midterm Project ==
When I wrote my project proposal, I had a lot of ideas that I wanted to do, but not everything went well. I decided to start off with some new ideas from scratch. Then suddenly, I came up with something. I decided to make a netbook cooler, as no company has made one yet. The purpose of this cooler is to decrease the temperature of the netbook by fanning below . This project is simple, but yet simple. The cooler will have two features, an automatic switch so when a netbook is placed on top, the cooler will automatically start fanning, and a turning knob to adjust the speed of the fan. The cooler was easy to make, I placed the red switch on top of the box, so that way when something is pressed against it, it would connect the circuit all together, making the fan spin. I placed the knob on the back so adjust the volume of the fan, which is also connected to the circuit. The box is actually made out of a cereal box, wrapped with construction paper. Inside the box, the circuit board is placed in the back, which is also connects the battery, potentiometer (turning knob), and switch button.
