• Using a computer and an X-Carve, I created a wood carve of a Halloween design starring my original characters because I wanted to do something different besides a scratch project again. I had made 3 separate scratch projects before, and wanted to do something new. This project also allowed me to create a design using scratch while not just being a scratch game.

• During this process, I learned how to create a design for an X-Carve. I also learned how to set up an X-Carve to allow it to create the design. This process included importing the design to the website from scratch, uploading it to the X-Carve, finding a wooden board that I could use to place the design onto, and getting the X-Carve ready to carve by doing things such as plugging in the X-Carve's vacuum.

• 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 took something that already exists and put my own spin on it. I took the idea of a wood carving, and I added my own design to the wood carving.

• A challenge I overcame on this project was getting the clamps onto the wooden board. There are these clamps that you have to place onto the wooden board so it doesn't move while the carving is happening, but I did not know how to get them on. I was able to do it by asking for help, which lead me to have a classmate help me get the clamps on.

• Given a chance to do this again, I would fix the errors in the design. Some parts of the design were not cut correctly, and there is some fuzz around the cuts. The reason why I would change it is because the design is not supposed to have these errors.
