So my latest project in my scimatics class was the ultimate design challenge where we had to design a 3D object using the Tinker CAD 3D design website (so the website is design so you can design a object and have it printed, although we did not get the objects that we designed printed). The object that i chose to build was a magic the gathering deckbox that has space for dice. Now it did to turn out too well as i am not a 3D designer but i gave it my best and it exceeded my expectations for how it would turn out(which were very low). The driving question for my project was how can i design a 3D object with maximum surface area of volume i picked volume.
The first curricular competency for this project was: All class time is used efficiently for learning without distractions. I think that i did g good job on this curricular competency because i tried my best to get my work done on time, went to tutorial and over all gave this project my all. It may just seem as if i did not use my class time well because i had difficulty figure it out the design software at first and because i was absent for a week.
The second curricular competency for this project was: A 3D object is designed using TinkerCad or other design software. The design is optimized for either maximum volume or maximum surface area. The design should include at least 10 basic 3D shapes (A model should also be built cooperatively for groups of 2 or 3) i think that i did a good job on this curricular competency because I designed a 3d object using Tinker-cad, and did my very best when it came to designing this object. I also made my design maximized for volume like in the criteria. The design that i made also included ten basic 3D shapes, as stated by the criteria. We were given he chances to working in pairs or alone and i chose not to work in a group, but if i had to i would have. The reason that i chose not to work in a group with other people is that i like working alone because it makes it so that i am responsible nsable for doing all of the work and if i do not meet expectations it is my fault. That is just me though.
The third competency it: The surface area and volume are measured, calculated, and compared for efficiency. These factors are explained in detail in a keynote presentation to the class. I did an okay job at this. I calculated, measured and compared for efficiency. I also presented these details in a keynote for the class. One thing that i did not do very well in the keynote was i did i did not show the units in most of my calculations, so i could have done that better. But other than that i think that i did an okay job here.
here is some media of my project
