Using cardboard, hot glue and duct tape, I created a functioning basketball mini hoop that stands up on its own because i really like basketball even if I don't play it.
During this process, I learned how to piece together cardboard scraps with duct tape and hot glue to make a mini hoop.
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 Innovative designer because I used my brain and knowledge to by myself, make a mini hoop out of card board.
A challenge I overcame on this project was having to piece together the card board and brain storm about how I was gonna make the whole thing in the first place I was able to do it by.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change the height of it so I don't have to look down when shooting. The reason why I would change it is because it kinda starts to hurt your neck after a while.
