This is a picture of my "Boat" I made out of tin foil.
This is my 3D boat I'm printing to hold pennies that I made off of Tinkercad.
My boat held 48 pennies but unfortunately, the video of my boat sinking when the weight was increased to much was deleted.
The tin foil boat help 48 pennies, And my 3D boat held 119 pennies.
IMG_0238.MOVThis is the video of my boat sinking once the weight got to high for the boat to hold.
My creation are boats for the cause of holding the most pennies to beat the other students in our penny holding competition. I obviously did not win with the total of 8 pennies for the tin foil boat but today my boat was done printing and I will be testing it. But I had a or of fun watching other people make their boats.
I learned better ways to improve boats and thing you can add to the boat to make it improve on the water. I also learned how to create a 3D boat and transfer it as an STL file and print the boat as a real life thing through a 3D printer. Because we needed to write 35 different types of boats, I memorized some types of boats.
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 Empowered Learner because I made a project based on what kind of boat I wanted to make. It's also tied to Knowledge Constructor. The reason for this is because me and my partner made this boat based on what kind of boat we wanted to make.
A problem I overcame is that my boat was failing over and over again when printing but it finally worked. So now after it's finished printing I can put the printed boat into water and test it to see how many pennies the improved boat can hold without sinking. I believe my boat will improve to hold many more pennies.
Although something I would do differently would be make the edges of my boat taller because now that i'm looking at it i'm afraid the walls of my boat might let in water faster than other boats. This problem could be fixed by simply re-doing everything the same thing just raise the walls. If water goes over the edge even slightly, I will need to stop adding pennies.
This could be tied to future careers by engineering because engineers need to build and create boats, cars, and motor and things. Another job would be designing using technology because people who make robots design the pieces on a computer, then print and assemble them. In the future 3D design is more and more needed.
