7P5 - 3D Design

Using tinkercad.com, I created a holder for my chargers because I always am looking for a charger. The reason that I'm always looking is because I use them and forget where I put them. The charger holder will make it so I'm not always looking for my chargers, I can just look on the holder for one.

During this process, I learned how to change the size and color of different shapes and learned how to group and ungroup my objects. I also learned how to make my thing 3in by 3in so it would be able to print. I also learned how to make a hole in my pencil holder and not make it all the way through so the pencils wouldn't fall out.

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 Computational Thinker because I used technology tools to create a design.

A challenge I overcame on this project was at first I couldn't get the shapes the right size. I was able to do it by trying again and again. When I gave up, I asked a friend for help. Another challenge was I couldn't think of an object to make that could solve a problem in my house. I was able to do it by looking around my house for problems that needed solving. The last challenge was that I made it too small so I couldn't use it to hold chargers. I overcame it by finding something smaller that it could hold. 

Given a chance to do this again, I would change the object that I made. The reason why I would change it is because I had a lot of other objects I could have made, like a phone holder and a pencil holder for example. I also would've probably changed the way I made the charger holder and make it cooler. I would need to change the size on it as well because it ended up too small.
