7P2 Cardboard Project.movReflection:
Using cardboard, popsicle sticks, duck tape, and a hot glue gun, I created a cardboard roller-coaster/slide because I thought it would be fun to try and design a moving cardboard roller-coaster. It was very hard getting the height right so the finished product looks like a slide. It still works like a rollercoaster it just doesn't have turns and hills.
During this process, I learned how to build a slide using different sized stilts and platforms. I also learned how to make a small cardboard car. This was very fun because I got to test different styles and see which one worked best.
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 design because I looked at someone else's work and built it how I wanted it to look. We tried to make it as close to the picture as we could.
A challenge I overcame on this project was making the car go down the slide. I was able to do it by adding duck tape to the bottom of the slide to make it slippery. It still doesn't work like I wanted it to but it is as good as we could get it.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change the height and look of my roller-coaster. The reason why I would change it is because I think if it had more height it could have more potential. I would also add turns to it would function like a real roller-coaster.
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 and Design CTE program at Hastings High School. Engineering Design is identify complex design problems, conduct root-cause failure analyses, and anticipate production issues.
My project connects to careers in Fashion Designer because they design and make their own clothes. Then they sell them to others for money. Many famous designers clothes are expensive so they make a lot of money.*
