Welcome to my site, today I’m gonna reflect on my new scimatics project called“The ultimate design challenge”. In this project we were asked to design a 3D model with either maximum volume or surface area. We also learned a lot of stuff about volume and surface area.
So first me and my partner Nathan decided to make a space ship with the maximum volume so it can fit in more people. Then each of us designed a 3D model and then he sent me a screenshot of his, and I combined them together. After we printed out the model I started to calculate the surface area and the volume, the final ration was 1: 1.0175 which is what we wanted.
Here is a photo of the final product, and now I’m gonna talk about some competencies that I was marked on in this project.
Applying and innovating: all class time is used efficiently for learning without distractions.
I really extended on this category this time, I did most of the keynote slides and the script by myself. And I did all the combining designs and calculations by my self. And most importantly I did play games on my iPad during class hours, because I did have any games. I deleted all my games on my iPad after the last project.
Reasoning and analyzing: as I have already mentioned, me and my partner created a design of a space that has the maximum volume, by using an app called shaper3D. We used more than 10 shapes, and me and my partner did work cooperatively, since we combined out designs together.
Communicating and representing: all calculations were done by me, and I believe that they are all correct. The keynote presentation slides were mostly written by me and the script was perfect too, so after all we did do a good job on this project.
