Using 3D design software, I created a sound box manipulator. I did this because I wanted to use all of the sound effects that are programmed on the box. Now, I can use any sound effect that I want.

During this process, I learned how to follow measurement charts. I also learned to take real life measurements and apply them to the software. These are useful skills for real life.

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 I designed 3D solutions for real life. My project also ties to Global Collaborator because my website is visible for the whole world to see.

A challenge I overcame on this project was getting accurate measurements. I was able to do it by using a ruler to measure objects and 3D design at home. Then I just searched the measurements at school.

Given a chance to do this again, I would change the design for the sound box manipulation device and take more accurate measurements. The reason I would do this is because the original design was not up to scale.
