Daily log
Day 1. Watched a video about a kid who made a cardboard arcade, and got in our group.
Day 2. Made a folder, sketched our project, and made a new subpage.
Day 3. Started working and getting the materials for our project. and cutting out our pieces.
Day 4. We made our made part and we started our catapult.
Day 5. Made the door to the back, and added a latch so we can open and close it without it getting stuck.
Day 6. added the bottles so it can turn. and ended up not adding the catapult.
Day 7. Added the slides and put some windows, and we finished our project. We also made our video.
Day 8. Made our reflection, and finished our 7p2 project. We also got our photos taken.

Reflection
Using cardboard, duct tape, hot glue, popsicle sticks, and tin foil Our team created a vending machine because I had some experience with a cardboard vending machine, so we added a slide so the prize can roll out. We also design a catapult that throw your prize at you. Sadly it was too powerful so we had to take it out.
During this process, I learned how to measure the cardboard and get the base we wanted. Since I did something like this before it wasn't as hard. I also learned to fixed the problems when it didn't work.
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 set a goal to get it to work properly and I achieved it. It also ties to Digital Citizen because I made sure what to put on my website to keep me and everyone else safe.
A challenge we overcame on this project was getting our catapult to work. We was able to do it by adding a rubber band to it. Even though we ended up getting rid of it.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change the layout and the structure. The reason why I would change it is because the layout could have been better. We also could have made the base more even.
