Planning Questions
Are you working by yourself or in a team?
I will be working with Shawn, Liam, and Caleb.
What materials will you need for your project?
Cardboard, tape, scissors, glue
What is your plan to create in this project?
Mini Safe
What unique qualities will your project have?
Buttons on the safe and the ability to close and lock it.
Day 1. Made my list of 25 things, answered the planning questions, then started planning out the how of our creation. We also designed a rough draft version of our latch.
Day 2. We made the cardboard layout and started constructing it.
Day3. We took pictures, covered our project with tin foil using hot glue guns.
Day4. we painted the top.
Day 5. Recorded a video on how the safe worked.
Day 6. Uploaded it to the website.
Video of the safe:
This video contains how the safe works and what you can keep in the safe.
IMG_0007.MOVUsing cardboard, hot glue guns, tin foil, tape, duck tape, and popsicle sticks I created a mini safe with my group. We created a safe because our group agreed that creating a safe would be the best option for us because it's simple and can operate being cardboard. It was a little bit creative since we added money, buttons, and a turn lock to our safe.
During this process, I learned how to make a cardboard safe with my group and put certain things together to make the safe more realistic. We added the buttons like you would have to put a code in and then twist it to open the safe to get your accessories. You would get the code rejected if it was the wrong one, then it wouldn't open for you (even though you could just twist it and it would open).
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 we designed it with tools like got glue guns and tape.
A challenge I overcame on this project was to restart sometimes and come back to record the video and finish the project. We made multiply rough sketches before we did the final one too. We also helped each other making the project and taking photos/video's of the safe. I also learned how to make stuff like "twister" safes where you just twist and it'll open.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change how poorly made and rushed my project was. The reason why I would change it is because the design on the outside looked beat up a little and the safe was needing a lot of hot glue. It would seem like a better project if we didn't rush the design of the safe and make it need an actual code so when you press it, it opens for you.
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 engineering design CTE program at Hastings High School. My project connects to careers in engineering because we made a cardboard safe and engineered it to open and close.
