Using TinkerCad and a 3d Printer, I tried to create a miniature drawer for stuff like Lego people to store stuff. This could be used to make Lego more intriguing to use because you can make Lego people use the functioning drawer to store their stuff. It could have also been used to hold small things for yourself like special minerals or rocks you found that you want to store.

 During this process, I learned how to structure a 3d print so it can be in segments to put together into one build.  This lets me be safer when building builds For example, imagine you making a car with a 3d printer building it whole could be a bad idea. This is because the filament could mess up mid-print due to the bumps here and there, if you make the car different pieces you can make the car like a jigsaw puzzle. You just need to put everything together either via glue or hooks you could put on your car.

 The 7 standards of the class are Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. Out of these 7, my project tied to Empowered Learner because I figured out use the technology given to me ( TinkerCad ) and showed how I learned from it by making changes on my second attempt. I also made a strategy in my build to make it easier for me to make and for the printer to make.

 A challenge I overcame on this project was my project breaking when trying to take it off the printer. I tried to fix this by removing the glue and reprinting it, but I forgot to replace the glue on the printer before I started printing my second one. I learned that I need just the right amount of glue or integrity to make my build stay intact.

 Given a chance to do this again, I would change how I decided to build my first 3d print and how thick the walls are. The reason why I would change it is because the wall that snapped off was not strong enough to stay on due to how thin it was, which caused it to snap. I also would change this because it made my project flimsy and it didn't come out as how I wanted it to.

At the high school, it offers people courses that can help with many different jobs, these are called CTE programs. A few of the programs include Agriculture, Business Management, Computer Programming, Construction Trades, Culinary Arts, Digital Multimedia, Engineering Design, Finance, Insurance, and Marketing. I feel that my project ties into the CTE program of Engineering Design because I made something using a 3d printer that I designed via TinkerCad, I used the mindset of a engineer by thinking how to make this come out as best as possible ( I didn't think hard enough )

My project connects to careers in engineering because I had to use design techniques to make my build work without any defects. But this didn't work out for me and my project failed due to the project getting stuck onto the printer and breaking, but that's all part of the trial and error process. I could have fixed this by focusing on my errors and seeing what I did wrong and making fixes to my work to make it more structurally integral.
