7P10 - STEAM Project

Planning questions

Are you working by yourself or in a team?

I am working by myself.

What materials will you need for your project?

I will need Cricut, a Shirt, and a Heat Press.

What is your plan to create in this project?

My plan is to create a design using cricut that I will place on a Shirt using a Heat Press.

What unique qualities will your project have?

My project will have my own OC (Original Character) on the Shirt.

Day 1 - I Experimented with the Cricut app.

Day 2 - I created a Design using Scratch and imported it into the Cricut.

Day 3 - With the help of some friends, I split each part into it's own color, but couldn't print them due to time.

Day 4 - I printed each Sheet and my friends helped cut them up.

Day 5 - I placed each vinyl piece and heat pressed it onto the shirt.

Using a Cricut and Heat Press, I created a Design and heat pressed it onto a Shirt because the Cricut not only allowed me to add my own character in my design, but I also get a physical item from it.
During this process, I learned how to import a design into the Cricut for it to cut it..
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 something that already exists (Heat Press and Cricut) to print my own design onto a Shirt.
A challenge I overcame on this project was running out of time to finish the project. I was able to do it by asking my Next Hour Teacher if I could stay and finish the project.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change my design to be simpler and have less colors/pieces. The reason why I would change it is because the pieces overlapped and, due to the many pieces, the heat press caused some of the vinyl to seem melted.
