P11 - Saxon Den

Door STOP Pictures: 25 Things:

Reflection:

Using Tinkercad, David and I created a door stop because we needed to make a 3D print to use for the Saxon den. The door stop had a normal slant but on it it says the words STOP and HHS on the very back of it. I thought of the Idea of putting the stop words on it but David thought of putting HHS on the back of it.

During this process, I learned how to use Tinkercad efficiently. Tinker cad is a 3D print and design website and before when I just started using it I did not know how to create a hole into a object, but now I do. I learned that you had to make a shape you wanted to cut out and then use the "hole" button on top of a object and will create the same sized hole.

The 7 standards of the class are Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. My standards were tied to Empowered Learner because i picked what I wanted to do, Innovative Designer because i know how to use a deliberate design process for generating ideas, testing theories, and creating innovative artifacts. Computational Thinker because I formulated problem definitions suited for technology assisted methods or algorithmic thinking in finding solutions.

A challenge I overcame on this project was trying to make the HHS part stand up while 3D printing. I was able to do it by place a block like slab on the words. The block caused the letters not to fall on the words.

Given a chance to do this again, I would change the color of the door stop. The reason why I would change it is because it doesn't suit the Saxons colors that well. I would most likely want to change the colors to either blue or yellow.

This project connect to careers in engineering, so basically most things I did are relevant towards it, unlike English. for one example knowing how to use a 3D printer or the tinker cad for starters is good towards a engineering career. If you want to be a engineer you need to know how to 3D print more than likely, or at least the creative design.
