Daily Log:

Day 1( I watched some videos on YouTube on some ideas for a powered cardboard car.

Day 2( I switched to making floating boats/ rafts.

Day 3( I made the base of my boat which was 6 large Popsicle sticks all hot glued together.

Day 4( I was wrapped up my project with adding duct ape and a few other Popsicle sticks to make sure the boat was more sturdy and could hold more pennies.

Day 5( I brought in supplies for the testing the next day and played around and helped with my classmate projects.

Day 6( Was test day to see how many penny's my boat could handle and it held 15.

Using Popsicle sticks and duck tape, I created a raft because i thought it would be interesting.

During this process, I learned how to make a floating raft with limited products.

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 rebuilt my project after it failing to being successful by fixing its weak points because

A challenge I overcame on this project was using limited supplies. I was able to do it by being creative with my design.

Given a chance to do this again, I would change by using cardboard for my base. The reason why I would change it is because i think it would hold more pennies.
