Sentence Starters
Using Hotwheels, I created a cool track because I liked Hotwheels a lot as a small child.
During this process, I learned how to make a turn with a straight track.
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 thought of making a turn by banking a straight piece of track to make a turn when we didn't have any turning pieces.
A challenge I overcame on this project was keeping the car on the track during a steep drop and a sideways turn. I was able to do it by making sure the stuff stayed in place with Duct Tape.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change what pieces I used. The reason why I would change it is because only being able to use a clamp, loops, and straight track was very limiting.
