Day 13
Today we finished up our design, only having to finish part of our flower and the rest of 2028. Then we began to work on our websites.
Using the embroidery machine, I created a shirt that says "meow" because on our last project we definitely overshot our abilities. While yes we successfully made the shirts last time, what could've been around a 10 day project turned into over 2 weeks. So this time we decided to repeat the same project but better and then do a smaller one on my shirt.
During this process, I learned how to replace a needle. While we don't actually do this as students, I learned how. We were able to find the directions and understand them. As well as watching Mr. Renner fixing the needle.
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 knowledge constructor because with every problem we over came, we used things around us to help. Things like video tutorials, to the instruction manual. We were able to find our data and fix our problem.
A challenge I overcame on this project was thread kept breaking. I was able to do it by identifying the problem. Then making an effort to do things manually. If it was a simple fix, we would fix it and make sure that it wouldn't happen again.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change the shirt used. The reason why I would change it is because it was a full length shirt. Which would usually be fine but it was a pretty thick shirt. When we went to embroider it would get caught on the shirt. Once even causing us to cut it.
