Using cardboard, I created a set of armor and a spear because me and my two friends thought it would be easy and fun to make.
During this process, I learned that it takes time to do the things you want and how to work as a team.
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 Empowered learner because I set goals and collaborated with with others I also received a grade and feedback on this assignment, feedback from my team members.
A challenge I overcame on this project was not knowing how I was meant to curve the helmet. I was able to do it by trying a few different designs and strategy's and I did it.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change how thick I made the helmet and how I approached it. The reason why I would change it is because I felt like I rushed and the helmet looked weird because of it.
