My team started to think about what we were going to be making and started to design how its going to work
we started the basics
we started to glue our cardboard together and design
we started brain storming and adding ramps so the gumball will go where we want it to go
we painted it pink to make it look pretty and neat
we put our hole in the cardboard so that our peanut butter jar could fit in it.
Day 7
We complete our project and made the final video
Using cardboard, I created a functional gumball machine because I've always wanted a big gumball machine in my room.
During this process, I learned You need to work together as a team and to use limited tools.
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 innovation designer because I used my resources and knowledge to design my project.
A challenge I overcame on this project was getting the gumball out of the machine I was able to do it by just shaking it a little bit.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change the way we made the gumball come out. The reason why I would change it is because it does not work as well as we wanted it.
