CORKPALS

Description: During class, we used TinkerCAD's 3D function to design covers to put on corks. We could choose which animal to design to use as a cover, and it has to stand by itself. There also has to be a story of how the two animals relate to eachother.

Brainstorm: I was inspired when I made word play of corkpals that was pork pals. I then made a pig because of the PORK in pork pals. After that, I rotated the eyes on the pig and I thought of how frogs have eyes like that. Then, I made a designed a frog.

Reflections:

S: I was able to finish the design rather quickly, and was prepared when printing.

O: I could have improved by measuring both sides of my cork because one side was too big and kept sliding off.

U: I learned that I have to prepare better. I didn't plan well on when to print my pig and had to wait a long time to print.

L: I was limited by the long wait time to print because I wanted a specific color.

WISCR: I used my class time efficiently and so I was self motivated. Also, I was a clear communicator when I asked for colors.

STORY: A frog was walking along the path towards the city. The reason why was he needed to meet his aunt. The frog had scheduled to meet his aunt a long time ago, almost 5 years before today. He was very unexcited, for every time he went to meet his aunt, the aunt had kicked him in the tummy. She did this because he ate too much. But today the frog was convinced he would control himself and eat as much as he could but not too much so that auntie would not kick him. The city was very crowded and the frog had to push through people to get through. A pig then caught the eye of the frog. The pig was mesmerizing and mesmerized the frog. The frog instantly fell in love and completely forgot about his aunt. Little did he know that the pig was the daughter of the friend of the aunt and the aunt and the frog would meet again. But that won't happen yet. The frog spent his life savings on pursuing the pig. The pig never noticed the frog's efforts and went on with life. In the end, the aunt made the frog go on a blind date and the frog met the pig again and happily ever after.
