In my project, I am working by myself. The materials that I need for my project are Tinkercad, a computer, a pencil, and a 3-d printer. I plan to create a little pencil holder in the shape of a helmet. I plan to create a sort of Viking helmet that can hold a pencil. With my tools, I will use them the best that I can to finish this project. Unique properties that my pencil holder will have include a carving of my last name, engraved into the front; a hole at the top so that I could hold a pencil in it; two horns at the top of the helmet for a "Viking" design; and a hammer engraved into the back of the helmet.
In the picture shown, you can see the front of the helmet. Here, I made an engraving of my first name. I believe that I could've done better in this project and that I should've made my last name more centered
In the picture shown, you can see the back of the helmet. Here, I made a little hammer design. I believe that this part printed out very well.
In the picture shown, you can see the top of the helmet. Here, I made the hole for the pencil, and the two horns on top of the helmet. I believe that I could've done better with the horns, but the pencil holder does just fine.

You can see the base of the helmet that is covered with designs and two horns on top. You can see the designs in the helmet such as my last name engraved into the front, and a helmet engraved into the back.
In the picture shown, you can see my project as a whole. You can see that the helmet holds the pencil well, and looks nice. Though it looks great, I believe that I could've made the pencil hole bigger, because it's a bit of a tight fit for the pencils.
Using a 3-d printer, I created a pencil holder in the form of a helmet because I would like to have something that looks cool to hold my pencils. During this process, I learned that I should not use the pencil in Tinkercad for scale to hold my pencil since it was not big enough. I also learned that the cones do not make the best horns in Tinkercad.
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 used technology to my advantage, and to the best of my ability.
A challenge I overcame on this project was making the horns on the helmet. I was able to do it by combining a bunch of cones and other shapes in order to form a horn. Although I made these horns well, I still believe that they could be better, if I just worked hard enough.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change the size of the hole in the top. The reason why I would change it is that it is not big enough. If the hole was bigger on the top, normal pencils would be able to fit in it.
