7P5 3D Design

Reflection:

Make sure you have your video of a project

• Using a computer and Tinker cad, I created a 3D printed mini bench because I thought it would be fun and interesting to make and show on my website. Now when people go on my website they get to see something they probably have never seen before. Overall my project was very fun to create and explore with.

• During this process, I learned how to put different shapes together to make a bigger object. When I was doing this I made a few mistakes so when I was going back and looking at it I had to adjust the shapes to make the object look better. I had so much fun exploring what different shapes could make.

• 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 created and thought of my own creation. I also made different prototypes while exploring with the shapes.

• A challenge I overcame on this project was attaching all of the shapes and words. I was able to do it by moving the object to the right angle so I could see if the shapes/words were attached. I has to do this a few times when adjusting my shapes size and features.

• Given a chance to do this again, I would change the difficulty of my project. The reason why I would change it is because I believe that I could create something a lot more complex. Instead of creating a simple bench I could have create something like a miniature plane or figure.

• 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.  The engineering design process begins by defining a problem and completing background research on the problem.

• My project connects to careers in architectural engineering because I thought and created my own design just like an architect would do. Just like an architect I created a plan and then explored before making my final project. I had a lot of fun exploring and testing how different shapes looked on my object.
