8P3-Strawbees

Using strawbees, I created a tie fighter. I created this because we thought it would look cool and hard to build. We also made a small bridge because we were testing out how the strawbees work.

During this process, I learned how to make things structurally sound. I also learned how to connect pieces to make interesting shapes. We also learned how to make complex shapes in an easy process.

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 Knowledge Constructor. It ties to this because I had no prior info on this subject and we didn't watch any videos we just went in blind.

A challenge I overcame on this project was knowing how to do the project. I was able to do it by asking for help from peers. I could also do it by trial and error because we didn't know how to connect the straws.

Given a chance to do this again, I would change the green screen. The reason why I would change it is because we didn't really know how to work the green screen. Abither reason I would change it for is because the video was pretty boring when we were already in the green screen.
