Planning Questions
I am working with my partner Lucas.
We will need cardboard, tape, glue, and some type of coloring tool.
Our plan before this project was to sketch it out.
Well our project will be unique because we are planning on making it detailed and an actual game.
Using my planning and partnership skills, I created a ball drop game with my partner because we thought it would be fun to (physically play with). This game is where you grab the tinfoil ball and drop it from the top hoping it goes in the hole. If it goes in the hole then the player wins, but if it doesn't you lose. To make this project I used hot glue, cardboard, marker, tinfoil, and toothpicks.
During this process, I learned not only to use my brain more but accept new ideas. For this project we couldn't just use a boring idea. Normally I struggle with other people's idea but this time we worked it out and now it's great. I also knew that this project would take a lot more brain power than I thought so we had to work through everything very carefully.
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 Creative Communicator because I had to work with a partner to create it. Like I said before I don't work well with partners. So I really had to talk to him just to get it done.
A challenge I overcame on this project was the tinfoil ball the right size. If we didn't make it the right size it wouldn't work and trust me we made a lot of them just to get the one we wanted .I was able to do it by making a new ball with less tin foil and using a different motion to make the ball more round. The ball ended up being a lot smaller than the original
Given a chance to do this again, I would change our design of the project. The reason why I would change it is because I thought we needed more detail but we also had to make it harder so you wouldn't win every time. At first the game was to easy so I thought we could've changed it but it turned out to be fine. Also I think we could've made the whole project steeper so the ball would go down faster.

This is our plan and first original idea.
We had to make a perfect tiny tinfoil ball for the game to work correctly.

This is what it looked like when we were close to finished.
Our project was building a ball drop game, where you drop a tinfoil ball at the top hoping it goes in dodging the toothpicks
