8P4-Cardboard Creation

I used cardboard, hot glue, tape, and candy to create a candy machine. I did this because I loved doing the cardboard project in 7th grade, and I wanted to do somthing with cardboard again. I thought that doinh a candy machine would be an exiting and chalanging project to do..

During this process, I learned that I like M&M's more than Skittles. Also, I learned how to biuld a candy machine. It helped me with time management, problem solving, and perserverence. It also gave me a chance to have free candy. I didn't learn how to eat candy but I did learn how to ajust my design to fit the candy I was working with.

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 Global Collaborator. This is because I am sharing what I did with the world. My project also ties to Computational Thinker. That is because I perservired even when it got hard.

A challenge I overcame on this project was biulding the boxes for the candy to be stored in. I was able to do it by Adding a lot of tape. It made it flexable in the right direction.

Given a chance to do this again, I would change the boxes i put the candy in. The reason why I would change it is because the candy keeps randomly falling out. I would rather people don't get random candy.

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 Construction Trades CTE program at Hastings High School. This is because i biuld somthing and I'm pretty shure that constructing is a fancy word for biulding.

My project connects to careers in architecture.  My project involved taking an idea and turning it into a physical creation, like the process architects do. In architecture, professionals usually start with a concept or vision and then use their skills to design and build structures.
