7p4 design challenge

Using Cardboard and Popsicle sticks, I created A mini cabin because we wanted to create a scene we wished we were in, so we made a log cabin that we wish we were staying in.

During this process, I learned how to warp cardboard into shapes I didn't know were possible.

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 because we went through steps to make our project a realistic shelter that if it were full sized, would work, we went through steps of innovation like, reinforcing the structure and insolating it.

A challenge I overcame on this project was the parts and pieces falling off. I was able to do it by figuring out why they were falling off and using a stronger adhesive to stick it together.

Given a chance to do this again, I would change the roof and or interior. The reason why I would change it is because its pretty boring and has nothing special to it, its just a box with insulation and a flat roof.
