7P5-3D Design

Using Tinkercad and a 3D printer, I created a bookmark with a frog on it because I always just fold the page of the book. This project was supposed to solve a problem, and me using absolutely anything I can find as a bookmark, It seemed like a serious enough problem. Also, frogs are cool. 

During this process, I learned how to use Tinkercad. I used it last year, but I completely forgot how to, so I learned it again. I also learned how to make a very flat frog.

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 designed my bookmark. I didn't use anyone else's ideas. I came up with the idea and specifically designed it.

A challenge I overcame on this project was that I had to start over one day because my particular design would not stay flat enough. I was able to do it by making a new design. I originally tried really hard to make my original one work, but it worked out anyways, since my new one looked cooler. I changed it from a fish to a frog.

Given a chance to do this again, I would change the amount of time I worked on it. The reason why I would change it is because though it turned out good, if I had put in more time, I could have made it even better. I focused too much on my website.
