Using tin foil, rulers, scissors, and my hands, I created a flat bottom boat that held 60 pennies. It also had a width of 3in, length of 5in, and was 1in tall because I thought it would be cool to see how many pennies a boat made out of tin foil would hold. Also I thought it would be a fun challenge to keep it the length and width it was supposed to be but also hold a lot of pennies. .

During this process, I learned that it is very difficult to make something a a certain size but also make it hold  a lot of pennies. Also I learned that for the boat to float  it has to have a lot of empty space. Another thing was that it cant be to heavy but the walls or the bottom also can't be to thin

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 learned from my mistakes. Like I would make a boat and it would start leaking and then I would know what the problem was and fix it to make another one that is better,.

A challenge I overcame on this project was I would forget how I folded it the first time when it would hold a lot of pennies.. I was able to do it by doing that I made new ones that weren't has good as the first one but that made me make new boats and combine all the ides to make a good boa. Also I would be able to learn new ways to make boats float.

Given a chance to do this again, I would change the boat I would keep the same design but I would want to get better at the folding the boat  and find a boat that holds a lot of pennies. The reason why I would change it is because my first two boats were pretty good and would hold a lot of pennies but would start to leak.  Then I would forget how to fold it like how I did the first time and the boat would suck. .

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

My project connects to careers in \Construction because I am building something so that it will hold. Another reason it ties to construction is because I am building something that has to be a certain length and width and can be to tall. Some careers are Boat manufacturing, Boat Construction, and Boat cleaning are all some jobs that connect to this project.
