Using 3D printing and Tinker Cad, I created a boat. The goal was to try to see many pennies it had inside before sinking. Another goal was to improve the second boat with how many pennies it could hold.
During this process, I learned how to use the website "tinker cad" to make a boat. I also learned how to make the boat with certain shapes with the help of my group. the 3D printed boat worked and looked way better.
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 Empowered Learner because i had to set personal learning goals and agree to disagree with my partners to get the boat done. During this project I had to decide what type of boat I wanted to build, and then figure out how to do that.
A challenge I overcame on this project was how to make the boat shape. I overcame it by looking up videos, and made it looked way better than the tinfoil one. During this we saw how to make the boat work way better by making a better shape and have more space.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change how big the boat was and have an even platform so we can add more pennies. The reason why I would change it is because we got a lower amount of pennies when our boat sank. Another reason is because our boats walls were too low and let water in easily.
This project connect to careers in boat making. You would have to make models before making the actual boat to make sure it doesn't sink after made. Also would have to determine what parts would be the best for the environment.
