In my project, I am working by myself. The materials that I need for my project are Tinkercad (an online website that allows you to make your own 3-d designs), a computer, and a 3-d printer. I plan to create a mini toy axe with my tools and use them to my greatest ability in order to finish my project. Unique properties that my mini toy axe will have include a carving of my name, engraved into the handle; a hole at the bottom so that I could maybe make it a part of a necklace, or use it as a holder to hang it up by; a handle that has bumps on top of it in order to maximize the gripping ability; a cone at the bottom of the handle for an interesting design; and a big axe head on top of the handle for it to be considered a real axe.
This is the finished project, as you can see it came out quite detailed, and nice. The axe has a handle that has my name engraved in it, a hole in the handle that could be used for multiple optional reasons; such as to help make it a necklace, or simply just to hold it up somewhere. The axe also has small bumps on the handle used for optimal grip. The axe head has two sides as a blade, both identically symmetrical in all aspects. Though it isn't quite the size I expected, I really like the finished product and plan to make more designs like this, improving my work and becoming a better learner.

I show you the engraving of my first name on the handle; the handle that everything is built on; the axe head, with the two sides that have sharp ends; the pointy cone on the bottom of the axe handle; and the bumps on the handle used for optimal grip. In the video, you can see all of the details I've described and you can see how my project has turned out almost exactly how I wanted it to.
Using a 3-d printer and Tinkercad on the computer, I created a mini toy axe with my name engraved in it. I created my mini toy axe because I really like axes. I figured that I could 3-d print an axe and put it on a necklace or something similar to that.
During this process, I learned that scaling is important because when making it I had planned to make it bigger than its actual size. During the process I mistook it to be bigger.
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 an innovative designer. It ties to this because I used technology to my advantage, using it to solve my problems and create new solutions.
A challenge I overcame on this project was the "hole tool" in Tinkercad, where I was confused as to what it was meant for. I was able to do it by googling what the "hole tool" does on Google. Given a chance to do this again, I would change the size of my project. The reason why I would change it is that when I was making it, I miscalculated the sizes, and made it small, but I wanted it to be bigger.
