Using Cricut, my computer, and the heat press I created a shirt with my own original design to press onto my shirt because I wanted to create my shirt design and it sounded fun. I used a silhouette from 3 sports that I do and then one that I want to do. These 4 things were a football player running, a wrestler suplexing someone, a pole vaulter, and then an MMA silhouette.

During this process, I learned how to create a Cricut design. I used this to make my design. I also learned how the Cricut machine works and how the heat press works. I used my knowledge of how the Cricut machine works I printed out my design.

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 stayed with an authentic topic till the end. I did this by sticking with this when it got hard and I didn't know what to do.

A challenge I overcame on this project was figuring out how to make sure my design came out right. I was able to do it by waiting for help from Mrs. Lucas and then she helped me figure it out. Another challenge I overcame was getting a shirt for my project. I was able to do it by going to the store and buying a blank shirt.

Given a chance to do this again, I would change the size of the design. The reason why I would change it is because I feel like there was to much blank space on my shirt. Another thing I would change is my design. The reason why I would change it is because I feel like there could've been a lot more.
