Planning Questions
Are you working by yourself or in a team?
in a team of three
What materials will you need for your project?
iPad, a Hot Wheels track and cars, and a computer.
What is your plan to create in this project?
A Hot Wheels track that includes many different obstacles
What unique qualities will your project have?
3d printed objects will show up
Day 1: Today I started my 10 good ideas
Day 2: We started to work on the track
Day 3: today we did the banana track and double road
Today we made the loop over pass
Today we made our reflection and finished our videos.
Using Hot Wheels, I created A Hot Wheels track because Hot Wheels tracks are fun. Hot Wheels watching will take your mind off the boring stuff. Hot Wheels are a way to escape reality and have some fun.
During this process, I learned how to construct a Hot Wheels track. I learned how to use gravity to have a Hot Wheels car jump or make sharp turns. I learned how to construct a track that will work every time you put the car in.
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 my team to decide on a track type. We had to decide on a track and then agree on a car type, who would be launching it, and who would take the video.
A challenge I overcame on this project was a limited time frame. I was able to do it by working with my group to be more efficient. We had to work fast but make sure the project still worked.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change how many tracks we built. The reason why I would change it is because we didn't build that many tracks, and I would've liked to do more. I feel like we could've done more variety of tracks.
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 Engineering Design CTE program at Hastings High School. We had to engineer a track so that it would be stable enough to not break when we put the car on it.
My project connects to careers in Road Construction Laborer because we had to construct a road. We not only had to engineer the road but also had to build the road. We had to construct the road and then video it just like road construction.
