8p4 cardboard (your choice)

Using cardboard and all the tools that are meant to be used on cardboard, a few friends and I created a truck called the "Gorb s 10"   because we wanted to make a truck and thought about making the Ford F'150 but since Ford is trademarked we had to alter the name a bit.

During this process, I learned how to cut boxes at the right angle to make the proper thing for my project. Another thing I learned is how to use the cardboard scissors properly though they still hurt my hands.  

The 7 standards of the class are Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. My project is tied to a global collaborator because people can see my website and the things on it.

A challenge I overcame on this project was finding pieces that were the size I needed. I was able to do it by scavenging for boxes and then cutting them to the truck.

Given a chance to do this again, I would change is the durability of the bottom. The reason why I would change it is because the bottom is quite flimsy and bends.

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 auto engineering because I made a car using different materials and used the design to craft the object I wanted to make.
