Using Tinkercad, I created a cord holder mount for my desk because I needed a way to organize cords at home. During this process, I learned how to design a model that fits real-world objects. I also learned how much space cords need to hang properly without getting tangled. This project helped me understand how digital designs can solve everyday problems. It was a useful way to practice both creativity and functionality.
My project connects to the Knowledge Constructor standard because I had to figure out the correct shape and size for the cord holder. I gathered information by measuring my desk and observing how cords hang. Then, I used that information to design a model that would work in real life. This required me to think carefully and apply what I learned to create a working solution. It helped me improve my ability to research and apply knowledge.
One challenge I faced during this project was finding the correct sizes and screw measurements needed to mount the holder. If the measurements were off, the holder would not fit or stay secure. I solved this problem by carefully measuring my desk and the screw holes before finishing the design. This helped me avoid mistakes when building or printing the final version. Overcoming this challenge improved my accuracy and attention to detail.
If I were given the chance to do this project again, I would change the color and possibly add more cord holders to one design. Adding more holders would make it more useful and efficient. I would also experiment with different layouts to improve how the cords are organized. These changes would make the design more advanced and practical. Improving the design would show my growth in using Tinkercad.
My project connects to the Construction Trades CTE program at Hastings High School. Designing and building the cord holder required measuring, planning, and understanding how parts fit together. These are important skills used in construction and building projects. It also shows how tools and designs can be created to solve real-world problems. This project gave me a better understanding of how construction skills are used.
My project connects to careers in construction because I had to find accurate sizes and shapes to make the holder work correctly. Construction workers also need to measure carefully and follow plans to build things properly. This project showed me how important precision is when creating something functional. It also helped me understand how designs are turned into real objects. These are skills that are useful in construction careers.

daily log
On the first day, I spent my time debating different ideas, still unsure what to build.
day 1
I got the base of my project finished and started planning the next steps.
day 2
I started adding my scribbles, but the lines needed to be straighter, so I slowed down and tried to make each stroke more careful and controlled.
day 3
I hollowed it out so I could add the screw holes and make room for the hardware.
day 4
I fixed all the lines in my final project. Now they are straight and look really neat!
