2. Make sure it is connected

3.

4.

3)  How did you decide to build this object?

I built this object because… I just wanted to put a cool 3D printed thing to represent me in my room.

4)  If you had more time or materials (plastic), how would you improve your object?

I would add or change…. I would change the color of the letters and spend more time connecting the letters.

Soccer Field

TinkerCAd reflection

by Kate

1. Describe the object you built:

I built a 125 mm  soccer field with built in goals.

2)  List the steps it took to design your 3d object:

1. Use a box and flatten it to make the surface
2. Put 2 more boxes as goals and another 2 to make holes in the goal
3. Create the sidelines as flatten and thin boxes
4. Then make another flattened thin box as half field and grab a torus thin as the circle at half field. Then you have a soccer field.

3)  How did you decide to build this object?

I built this object because I love soccer and wanted to build something that has to do with soccer so I built a soccer field.

4)  If you had more time or materials (plastic), how would you improve your object?

I would like to add a hole on the soccer field that would prevent the torus thin from coming up

Tree

   TREE    

                                                              BY Paisley.L.

I had 4 goals/  day 1 was the base and trunk.

Day 2 was the leaves.

Day 3 was tier swing.

And on day 4 was decorating.

I used tape to attach the cardboard! And i used zip ties to keep the leaves on. And rubber bands to attach the tier swing.

In the process my partner did not want to do it anymore so he went and worked with someone else.

If i had more time i would add way more decoration.

Claw Machine

CLAW MACHINE

FLYNN,MARLO AND FAITH

Goal Day 3: We completed the box on the first day of building.

Goal Day 4:We completed the door.

Goal Day 5:We were figuring out how the crane would work.

Goal Day 6: We figured out how to do the window.

Goal Day 7:Finished claw.

Goal Day 8: We worked on the prices.

Goal Day 9:We decorated the box.

We used tape to attach the cardboard together.I also used saran rape for the window. There were straws to attach to the prizes and door handle.

During Day 3: we figured out that we didn’t have enough people to finish our project.Also we noticed on day 4 the tape was coming off.

If we had more time I would of added more decorations.

THE CLAW MACHINE!

Robot

                                                  Robot Project

Made by:  Leo Palmer and Wyatt Millspaugh

Hello! We have designed a robot for fun, his name is Bortez, Bortez is completely made out cardboard, tape, straw, foam, paper, and imagination.

Bortez was imagined when we watched, Caine’s Arcade, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faIFNkdq96U

Caine’s arcade was so inspirational, kids all around the globe are competing in the “Cardboard Challenge’’, and we are some of those students competing in the cardboard

It took us six days to build plus some bumps along the way.

A little bit of backstory....

Bortez got in a car crash when he was one day old, sadly, he lost his legs in the process, as you can see Bortez has no legs.

He decided he wouldn’t be upset and would live a happy life!He got very used to life without legs.Now he is thriving with his kids Greg and Randy in Boulder, Colorado.

On the first day of building Bortez,  we wanted to just start the head, but we managed to COMPLETE the head. That was a very good day of building.

On the second day of building Bortez, we wanted to finish the head, but when we planned it we didn’t know we would finish on the first day so we decided to add a few details like marker to the head, then we started the chest.

On the third day of building Bortez, we were supposed to build the chest but again, we completed the head early which was nice, but was ruining our plan, so we decided to build the arms.

On the fourth day of building Bortez, this is when it all went sour, we were supposed to build the legs of Bortez, but for some reason Wyatt and I couldn’t build the legs we didn’t really agree on some parts like, how tall we wanted the legs to be, or how wide, so we ran out of time with NO legs.

On the fifth day of building Bortez, we had shorter time than usual, we had five minutes so we STILL couldn’t finish the legs and add details like we wanted to, so we decided to add details instead.

So, that’s the the gist of building. Bortez.

The materials we used during building were: Clear packing tape, foam pieces, straws, paper, and of course, cardboard, the tape was to hold everything together, the foam pieces were to add a little decoration, and to add some three dimensional feeling, and straws to act as fingers, and cardboard to make the framework.The fingers were also what allowed Bortez to propel himself in all directions,allowing himself to travel from place to place in a matter of minutes.

Some bumps or problems we ran into along the way were, not being able to find the right sizes of cardboard pieces, that was maybe the biggest one, the main bump if you will, that bump helped us not be able to make legs in time.

If me and Wyatt had more time to do this project I think we would add,

Definitely legs, so we could have Bortez be able to stand up, and maybe we could even add a little mechanism that made it seem like Bortez had real joints, like even be able to move his legs and arms.

We would probably add a little better quality details, like surrounding the WHOLE body in paper to draw on, so we could have more color on

Bortez.

On his free time he loves to watch the Denver Broncos.He loves to play football with his sons and play boardgames in the winter.He is a great skier and won 7 gold medals in the winter paralympics. He is in physical therapy to see if his body is healthy enough to get a pair of legs.

Balloon Popping Game

                BALLOON POPPING

MADE BY: HAILEY,EBBA,KELLY

Goal Day 3: i completed cardboard setup on the first day of building

Goal Day 4: I completed decorating border on the second day.

Goal Day 5: I completed adding prizes on the third day.

Goal Day 6: I completed putting on the on the project on the fourth day.

Goal Day 7: I completed testing and adding touches on the fifth day.

Goal Day 8: I completed finishing/completing on the sixth day.

I used decorated tape to attach the cardboard together. I also used

Glitter and pom poms to decorate. And we used different prizes

And put them in boxes known as “prize box”.

During day 5 we got in a big fight about our project and on day 8 it was destroyed

So we had to build it again

We would put more balloons and add better decorations.

Ring Toss Game

Puppy Palooza

Zakary and elliott created a project called puppy palooza ring toss.

We were inspired by a video called caine's arcade we wanted to make a game that was fun for all ages

We ran into some problems such as, the tape we were using as not have a good grip.

The materials we used were, cardboard, cardboard dog, colorful tape, transparent tape, popsicle sticks and lastly transparent paper.

Mini Golf

Mini Golf Game

This is our homemade Mini Golf game! Come to us and will need 1 ticket to play 3 games. You will need to hit the golf ball through the tunnel and get it in the cup.

How we made it

So, we really got a ton of cardboard junk, cut a tunnel, and made to tunnel ends. We used clear packaging tape and regular tape (that really didn’t work).

Our Goals

Goal day 3: We made the cardboard tunnel

Goal day 4: Made the place where you start the hole

Goal day 5: Made the first pathway

Goal day 6: Made the second pathway       (continued down one page)

Goal day 7: Made the obstacles

Goal day 8: fastened everything with packaging tape

That is how we made it!!!

Skee Ball

SKEE BALL!

This is my project! I created it by using styrofoam to make my  base. I used paper and tape to make my balls also i used and empty duct tape roll to put my tickets inside of then i poked a pencil into the styrofoam and put it through the duct tape roll and then made sure you make a hole so you can pull the tickets out of the front of the game smoothly. To make the dispenser and to make my holes i used a cardboard chrome box to cut holes in and wrote the amount of points on the tops of the holes and to make the ball holder out of a small rectangular  box to hold the balls in but make sure to slant  your box so you can keep receiving the balls! And if you have more time make sure to modify! MY DAY ONE GOAL WAS: OUTLINE/BASE AND RAMP FOR BALLS        

MY DAY TWO GOAL WAS: MAKE BALLS AND MAKE TICKET DISPENSER. MY DAY THREE GOAL WAS: CUT HOLE LABEL HOLES

MY DAY FOUR GOAL WAS: INSERT TICKETS AND MODIFY

MY DAY FIVE GOAL WAS: MODIFY AND COMPLETE ANYTHING I MISSED ON DAYS 1-4

Robotic Table Tennis

ROBOTIC TABLE TENNIS

We built robotic table tennis. The first two days we drew what we wanted. On day three we built the body of it. The next four days we worked on the mechanism. We did detailing  the rest of the time.

We used tape to put it together. All the materials we used were straws (we cut off the bendy part), styrofoam, tickets, and cardboard. We attached the styrofoam to the straws to make the robot pusher.We used the straw to push it. Obviously tickets to play. Our biggest problem was the pusher at first, we use d candle wax the we found straws worked better. Lastly, if we had more time we would make it bigger.

Ballon Popping Game

BY ELLA, ASHLEY, LIBERTY

MY GROUP IS MAKING A BALLOON POPPING GAME.

GOAL DAY 3: I COMPLETED CUTTING THE CARDBOARD ON THE FIRST DAY.

GOAL DAY 4:  WE COMPLETED BLOWING UP THE BALLOONS

GOAL DAY 5:WE COMPLETED MAKING TICKETS.

GOAL DAY 6:WE COMPLETED DECORATING THE CARDBOARD.

GOAL DAY 7: WE COMPLETED TRYING IT OUT

OUR GROUP USED TAPE TO ATTACH THE CARDBOARD TOGETHER.  WE USED DIFFERENT PRIZES AS PRIZES. I ALSO USED PENCILS AND TOYS.

ON THE LAST DAY I GOT GLITTER IN MY HAIR WE SOLVED THE PROBLEM BY NOT USING GLITTER. IF I HAD MORE TIME I WOULD ADD PAINT, COLORS, MORE PATTERNED TAPE, GLITTER PAPER AND MORE GLITTER.

6-sided Die

After receiving our Flashforge Finder 3d printer, I wanted to create something to show students the possibilities when designing an object for the printer. My goal is for my students to understand I'm a learner as well. I'm willing to learn right along with them and do the same work they are doing.

I created this 6-sided die using TinkerCAD. I used a regular box but then I made it hollow using a another smaller "hole" box inside it. Then, I made holes for the numbers on each side of the die.

If I could change anything, I would have made the walls of the die a little thicker. It's really not heavy enough and the sides are too thin to last very long.

Here's the video I created of the Flashforge Finder in action:
