Using the idea of the Design Challenge, my group and I made a working vending machine, because we wanted to try and make our own version of a machine you see everywhere.
During this process, I learned that hot glue can be helpful, but you don't need to touch the hot glue. The hot glue is a tool, and not something you should touch.
The 7 standards of the class are Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Communicator. My project ties to Computational Thinker and Innovative Designer because I innovated and used problem solving to make the project work right.
A challenge I overcame in this project was separating the money box from the fake food. I overcame this by gluing a piece of cardboard over the money box.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change the outer look. The reason I would change this is because if we were to put it out somewhere and people would actually use it, I would want it to look a little more finished and clean.
Hastings High School Career and Technical Education Program offers Agriculture, Business Management, Computer Programming, Construction Trades, Culinary Arts, Digital Multimedia, Engineering Design, Finance, Insurance, Marketing. My project connects to the Engineering Design CTE program at Hastings High School. My project connects to careers in Engineering and Electrical Engineering because you need to use electricity to engineer the machines.
