Using cardboard, I created a track for a ball because we thought it would be a good idea and a good challenge. Another reason we built this is because we thought it was going to be easy but it was not. The reason we thought this is because we saw a picture and it look very simple.

During this process, I learned building with cardboard is harder than i thought. Another thing i learned was that you have to use what you have and not what what you don't have. The last thing i learned was that you have to angle things right or it will be bad.

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 innovative designer because i knew how we wanted to make it . Another reason i picked this one is because to be an innovative designer you have to have some ideas of what you want to make.

A challenge I overcame on this project was that the ramps would not stop falling down .I was able to do it by having a cardboard piece under it for support. Another challenge i overcame was the ball would keep falling of the side of the ramps so to fix that we put in walls on the ramps.

Given a chance to do this again, I would change what I picked do build. The reason why I would change it is because it was too easy and simple. Another reason is because the ramps kept falling down so i would change doing that.
