8p6-Button making

Using the web, and a button press, I created several pins (some football teams,or wrestling stuff) because I wanted something cool to decorate my wrestling bag with. I also did this because I was getting two birds with one stone by wanting to decorate my bag and doing a project. I wanted to decorate my bag because it was just a plain blue so I wanted to make it look cooler.

During this process, I learned how to use the button press. I learned that you put the metal down first, then the picture you want, then put a piece of film over it. After that you push the holders over to press the first half with the actual pin part.

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 innovated designer because I used tools, like the button press, to help create my project. Also because I had to solve problems to make sure my project works.

A challenge I overcame on this project was learning how to use the button press. I was able to do it by trying different ways/ orders in which you put the stuff in, and searching how to use a button press so I can actually make a pin. Another challenge I overcame was figuring out what I wanted to make a pin of.

Given a chance to do this again, I would change which one's are in black and white and which one's aren't. The reason why I would change it is because some of them would look cooler if they were in color. I would also change how many pins I made. I would change this because I think it would be better if I made more than just seven pins.
