7P7- 3D Design

Using a computer, a 3d printer, and the Tinker Cad website to create the project, I created a holder for my Bose speaker which is 3 inches by 4 inches. I created this because I do not have a holder for the speaker and I would like to create one to put in my shower or in my room to listen to music on. Just so I cannot get dirt all over it when it is on the ground. During this process, I learned how to use the Tinker Cad website to create my project but also learned what different kinds of stuff you can create with 3D printers. I had no clue before what you can make with 3D printers and then I watched a video on what 3D printing can do, they can build a house with a 3D printer. 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 you are learning how to innovate and design stuff that has a problem in real life. A challenge I overcame on this project was how to find out how to use Tinker Cad. I was able to do this by using videos to find out what each button does when you click and how to make something move when you touch it like a fidget toy.

Given a chance to do this again, I would change the way I viewed the print and the way it functions when I put the speaker on to the platform. The fact speaker can fall off of the sides when placed in the wrong position.
