Using Keva Planks, I created A city. I created this because we thought it would be cool to make a bunch of stuff. I also made this because we could just let our minds run free and build whatever we think of.

During this process, I learned not to get attached to the buildings we were making. We would have to take them down eventually. Some of the towers fell down before we were even done like the original train and small basic tower.

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 Global collaborator. It ties to this because our video and website are shared with the world.

A challenge I overcame on this project was trying to make everything structurally sound. I was able to do it by adding extra support on the towers. I also did it by sacrificing how good it looks to support it.

Given a chance to do this again, I would change was some of the towers like the mayan pyrimad. The reason why I would change it is because they took a long time and they didn't end up looking that good. The Mayan pyramid took almost two days and we didn't end up liking how it looked after we finished.
