Using different sized Popsicle sticks, I created a Popsicle stick bridge because small models are a great way to test a project.During this process, I learned how to create something with structural integrity 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 small scale model to solve different bridge building ideas A challenge I overcame on this project was making something that looked good but served it purpose. I was able to do it by adding messy but structurally sound layers and covering them with batter looking layers.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change the criteria. The reason why I would change it is because the criteria was loose and although it was challenge it could have been more difficult .
Hastings High School Career and Technical Education Program offers Agriculture, Business Management, Computer Programming, Construction Trades, Culinary Arts, Digital Multimedia, Engineering Design, Finance, Insurance, Marketing. My project connects to the Construction Trades CTE program at Hastings High School. My project connects to careers in construction as small scale models help the design process to see flaws and better ideas.
Are you working by yourself or in a team?
For this project, I am partners/challenged with Maylee and Adriana
What materials will you need for your project?
for this project, we will need Popsicle sticks and hot glue
What is your plan to create in this project?
For this project, I will use hot glue to build a sturdy bridge that can hold a big jar of pennies
What unique qualities will your project have?
For this project, my partners and I will have three criteria, weight capacity, Appearance,and structural integrity
Daily log:
day one/ I created my web page and got to work on my bridge
Day two/ I worked on my bridge (see daily images below)
day three/ My bridge design failed so I restarted
Day three-five/ I compiled my bridge
On day six I finished the bridge and worked on my web page
This is the finished product in the back you can see the tally markes where the class voted on the best looking bridge i won with ten votes adriana came in second with nine and maylee had no votes
