Using Legos, I created a Lego car with steering and suspension because I wanted to challenge my self and I wanted to build with Legos . The car had four wheel drive, steering, and suspension. It took me 5 days working on the car for about 1 hour a day. I also came up with the design by myself from scratch.

During this process, I learned how use full knob wheels are for the drive shaft. Another thing I learned is how little frames I have for supporting the middle of the car. I also learned how certain cars work during the process.

The 7 standards of the class are Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. My project ties to computational thinker global collaborator. I am a computational thinker because I used problem solving during my project. I am a global collaborator because I have a website for the whole world to see.

A challenge I overcame on this project was getting the back wheels to stay connected to the frame. I was able to do it by using rubber bands to connect them to each other. another challenge I over came was getting the motors to sit in the right spot.

Given a chance to do this again, I would change how the back wheels connect to the frame. The reason why I would change it is because every time I hit a bump the wheels would pop right off. I would also reinforce the frame to make it stronger.
