In a team.
What materials will you need for your project?
I just need keva maple blocks.
What is your plan to create in this project?
A series of towers.
What unique qualities will your project have?
It will all be unique
Today I brain stormed ideas and decided to go with the Keva maple blocks.
Today I worked on making a tower.
Today me and my friends made a new design for the towers.
Today I made some finishing touches on my project.
Today I got all my pictures and turned it in.
Using the Keva maple blocks, I created 3 towers because I wanted to learn about constructional design.
During this process, I learned about what supports are needed.
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 designed a tower with my group.
A challenge I overcame on this project was How to make the towers lest rickety. I was able to do it by putting supports in the tower.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change how big the towers are. The reason why I would change it is because it will always be rickety.
