Using Cardboard, I created An arcade game because I wanted to be like Caine. Caine was able to make an entire arcade out of cardboard and make a profit while doing so. Also, he made people have a good time for cheap.

During this process, I learned how to use cardboard to make anything. Specifically Arcade machines, also I learned how to work with my partners well. I can now work with glue sticks proficiently and other materials I needed to use for my project.

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 Innovative Designer because we had to design our project creatively. We had to make our project different than other projects and come up with a unique name for it. Also, this is true because we integrated two designs into one.

A challenge I overcame on this project was deciding what to make. I was able to do it by getting my partners to help me and come up with a few. We eventually decided to make a hybrid with a dunk booth and a vending machine.

Given a chance to do this again, I would change the entire arcade game. The reason why I would change it is because it was fun to work on but I imagine it wouldn't be that fun to play. Also, there aren't that great of prizes.
