7P2 Cardboard Creations

Using cardboard and hot glue, I created a cardboard foosball table because with the supplies we where given we wanted to make something completely unique and different.

During this process, I learned not to waste my time and to be wise with the resources you are given.

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 we built something out of cardboard and made a foosball table.

A challenge I overcame on this project was not finishing the day we were supposed to turn it in. I was able to do it by having my partner Kingston take it home over the weekend so he could finish some of the last details.

Given a chance to do this again, I would change the way we designed the foosball table and know more about the resources we would end up needing. The reason why I would change it is because we had to have one of us take it home so we could finish some of the last things about it and I would want to know more of the resources we would need so that way we could have brought it to school rather than have to finish it in our own time.

Hastings High School Career and Technical Education Program offers Agriculture, Business Management, Computer Programming, Construction Trades, Culinary Arts, Digital Multimedia, Engineering Design, Finance, Insurance, and Marketing.  My project connects to the Construction Trades CTE program at Hastings High School.  

My project connects to careers in construction trades because we started with an idea of a foosball table then built something out of cardboard and hot glue, built it on, and improved it as we went.
