8P1-Marketing

Using Tinkercad, I created a small Lego figure head because I wanted to sell it at the high school Saxon store. During this process, I learned how to use a 3D printer program and a 3D printer.

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 had to come up with a semi-original idea only using a select amount of shapes that would get the attention of high school students.

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 marketing CTE program at Hastings High School because I made a product wanting to sell it to a targeted audience. My project connects to careers in toy design because I made a toy.

A challenge I overcame on this project was making a smile for the mouth like a original Lego figure head. I was able to do it by replacing the mouth with a circle which is another typical shape for a Lego head.
