Planning Questions
Are you working by yourself or in a team?
Team of 2
What materials will you need for your project?
Ipad, electric skateboard kit, helmet, tools
What is your plan to create in this project?
build a electric skateboard from a kit
What unique qualities will your project have?
be able to move with the use of electricity
Day 1: I chose what I want to do from my list of ten project ideas
Day 2: open the box and got 3 wheels attached
Day 3: We finished the skateboard. We also watched videos of how gears work and how batteries work
Day 4: We are letting it charge then test driving.
Using an Ipad, an electric skateboard, and tools, I created an electric skateboard because it sounded fun. I also had a friend build it with me, which was more fun. Then we got to have fun messing around with it.
During this process, I learned about energy and how a motor works. I also learned how to improvise when we don't have the correct number of pieces. I learned how a team can work on things faster.
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 we build something from pieces to one piece. We also listened to instructions.
A challenge I overcame on this project was making sure that every screw was tight and not cross-threaded. I was able to do it by having my friend tighten the screws before we tried anything. I did that because he's stronger than me but we did equal work.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change to take more pictures. The reason why I would change it is because we didn't take as much pictures. also if we did then we could've done a video of when we opened the box and when we closed the box.
Hastings High School Career and Technical Education Program offers Agriculture, Business Management, Computer Programming, Construction Trades, Culinary Arts, Digital Multimedia, Engineering Design, Finance, Insurance, Marketing. My project connects to the Engineering Design CTE program at Hastings High School.
My project connects to careers in Design Engineer because they build stuff then they test them out to see if the work. If whatever they built did not work then they go back and try again. They also get paid $89,050 on a yearly average.
