Design Process–Student Reflections
You’ve had the opportunity to work through the design process and create a prototype. Now it’s time to think about the process and share with others what you learned.
Consider these questions in our response, but share anything else that is important to you.
- What steps did you follow to create your prototype? Give details about what you did in each part of the design process.
- Which step or steps did you find the most important? Why?
- What did you create? How did it change as you tested it?
- What didn’t go well? How did you work through it?
- What did go well? What are you most proud of? Why?
The steps my group and I followed is that we needed a problem so we thought about gloves with buttons on them. Then we tried sewing on the buttons but it didn’t really work out. So we tried again and again but it still didn’t work. The steps I find most important is making the problem, why I think that’s the most important step is because you need a problem to figure it out if you didn’t have a problem than there is no work you could do. What my group and I made was a fingerless gloves with buttons on it. It didn’t change. The thing that didn’t go well was as we sewing on the buttons whenever we sew there would be a hole and if we try sewing that there will be another hole. what did go well after we kept trying we finally got it the hole for the button fit perfectly and there was no more holes. What I am most proud of is that my group and I worked really well together and was collaborating and everyone had a job to do.
1. First we thought about a problem that we can solve and next we started to think about how we could create it then we started to make it after we tried a couple of times it didn’t really trun out.
2. I think the most important step were to create the problem and make it.
3. We created a glove that you could take the topes of the fingers off. It changed because every time we created a hole to put the button through it always became really big and we had to sew it back up again.
4. There would be some little or big holes in the gloves that we had to fix over and over again. Our solution was to keep trying to sew it back up.
5. When we sewed the buttons on it always worked and I’m proud that my whole group didn’t give up just because it wasn’t all working out and that we all just trying over and over again.
My perlablom is ear buds getting tangled I needed car bored and duck tape and I made Ear bud sterataner first time I made it was very good but it was really big and chunky and so I need to make it smaller and clean it up and it still worked good
The first step was we took a small, but long price of cardboard.
After we taped and wrapped the cardboard in a tube.
Then step was we would make the ends even and smooth.
The 4th step was we would use tape or fabric to make it look nice.
The 5th step was we trimmed the fabric to make it clean and then we were finished.
The steps I found that were the most important were to make the ends even and to make the tape or fabric even.
My group and I made the earbud detanglers. You put the cord ends first and pull. Then once your earbuds can’t go through then start wrapping the cord around the cardboard. After tuck the cord part in the wires then you’re done. We changed the design by making the cardboard more round and short. What didn’t go well was we attempted to make slits on the sides to put the earbuds in but it didn’t work. We also tried making a box that detangles but Mykel made something like that. My group would just talk a lot until Stanley came up with the idea. Which me and Halil perfected. What did go well was our 2nd prototype which was smoother, better looking and it actually worked. Which then inspired us to copies and now the latest version is smooth and very tiny and compact. I was proud of all the work we did because we thought of so many ideas but a lot of them didn’t work, so that really kept us working. Until we finally made the final copy.
Maker space
When we tried it first we didn’t have a stand that was strong enough to hold up an iPad mini so we tried to add an extension bar that would fit in to help it but that didn’t work. So we tried to remodel it so that it would look like it had a bar that would hold it up. We used the cardboard, card stock, duct tape and Velcro.
The building/creating worked very well for us. What happened was we had fun and didn’t come to any trouble as we were doing it. The testing and evaluating didn’t. That was when we tried and tried again and it didn’t work so we thought about the extension bar. When we tested the stand that was also when we decided to add the Velcro. We used the duct tape for the good looking idea.
Katrina Chacinski
1 I plan and create and use my IMAGINATION AND MADE A MOVIE
2 creating and it was fun and it was the most important thing
3 I create a game
1. My project name is E.P.D short for ear bud detangler
2. What was hard about the project. Is that we could not get the ear buds in the card board it was either too big or too small.
3. What worked out about our project
months of trying we finally we got the perfect shape of the card board so we use that to make more and more copy’s 4. How long did it take to make our project it took a couple of months since we started in december and now it’s February.
5 Are project is a case for your ear buds so they don’t get tangled.
6. the most thing im proud of is that we got the perfect shape for the ear buds
1. First we planned what we were going to make we choose a pillow. Next we choose a material then we decided how big it would be and what shape. Then we got needle and thread and sewed it together. Then we flipped it in side right and put stuffing in it then we sewed the end that was open
2. I think planning was the most important because if I didn’t plan then it wouldn’t work very well
3. We made a pillow. It changed so that we add a phone pocket on it and it didn’t reply change a lot.
4. It didn’t go very well because the people I worked with[Mason and Abdullah] didn’t know how to sew so that took some time out because I had to teach them how to sew. And they were always wondering.
5. I was most proud that I was able to create and finish it because I didn’t really know how to make a pillow. So I was proud that I was able to do it and teach 2 people how to do it
-we want to make gloves and and make better one so we had a hard time the we had cand ideas we way going to make button
-we had to me careful because we didn’t want to make our big holes in the glove and we had a hard time trying to make it not so big
-we make gloves button and we had a hard time we had problems with the hole in the button them we started over and we found all her mistakes and we fix them
-we made gloves with buttons at the tops of them there were holes when we were sewing them to
-being a great hand model that the glove finally looked good
To make the prototype we just made pillow it was kinda hard because I just learned to sewing then we put a pocket and were put valcrow one the end of the pocket and we closed everything up
Which step did you find importent?
The pillow because we couldn’t make the pocket with out the pillow
Why did you create what you did?.how did it change as you tested .i thought that when you sleep with a phone you i would fall down and break or you would just lose you phone under all those covers we really just didn’t change are idea
What didn’t go well? What did you do to work through it?
Some pillows didn’t go well there were to big of caps and stuff like that we worked through it by making new pillow and find the one that’s perfect for us
What did go well? What are you most proud of? Why
The sewing i know we mest up but at least i learned some thing new and im proud of that
1. When it worked I felt so good.
2. We got some cardboard, measuring tape, card stock, tape, velcro. We measured the cardboard (4 by 2 inches), then we folded at the 3 inch mark. We measured the card stock (6 by 2 inches), then we folded at the 3 inch mark. Next we taped the cardboard and the card stock together. We sticked the velcro on the cardboard after taping the rest of the cardboard/stock.
3. The cardboard and card stock cutting and folding.
4. My first try failing but we tried something new unit it worked.
5. I’m most proud of when we tried something new when it all ready worked.
Our problem was that erasers don’t work out so well so we tried to make an eraser that works better.
To make the eraser we added glue, water, borax, and shredded eraser bits. We mixed it together but it made putty instead. We thought that the putty would work like an eraser putty. It did work like eraser putty but it worked like one of those bad quality putties. After a couple of days it started to harden so we put it into a ziplock bag and it went back to normal. The eraser putty didn’t feel like putty because it was not stretchy enough. To make it stretchy, we mixed together a liquid of part water and part glue. We stirred together the liquid and then we dipped the putty into the liquid. After that we ran the putty under hot water until all the glue was washed off. Then we blow dried the putty for about 1 min. The putty did not turn very stretchy but it did turn stretchier then it was before.
The most important part was when we put in the borax because if we did not put in the borax then the glue and water would not turn into putty.
In the begging we did not add the ingredients that were listed above and it turned into liquid goop.
When we tested our final product, it did not turn out the way we wanted it to be. It turned out to be a bad quality eraser putty. When we added in more eraser bit then it started to work out a little bit better.
In the begging everything did not work out well but then when we added the borax it started to take shape and work out better.
In the end when we added all the ingredients including the liquid, it worked out well and finally turned out the way we wanted it to Turn.
Pankhudi
I was most proud of the fact that Warda and I were able to successful work together and made our project work out well in the end even though we did not agree on a lot of things even since the beginning.
I was also proud of the fact that the putty did not turn into goop in the end.
Warda
I was most proud of how me and Pankhudi worked together and figured out problems together. We did not agree on a lot of things but we still tried to not argue and figure out things.

The steps for the project are:
1: List the items that you will need
2: Start planning
3: Get the items you will need
4: Start creating your project with the plan you had
5: Start decorating if you are finished
6: Questions
The most important step in my opinion is the planning, creating and evaluating because if your plan is wrong the creation is going to mess up and with the evaluation you can fix it.
I created a headphone protecter because the main reason headphones break is because people misuse them.It changed because the holes that the headphones were too big.
Like I said the bad thing was that I first made the holes too small so I made them bigger.
I think overall all but the hole incident overall it went well. I am most proud of the whole project because it turned out well overall.
1. The steps we followed are to find a big box. Then we made a small mouse bed . Then we created a bedroom.Then we added a rooftop.Then we painted the mouse house.
2. Finding the right box so that we could put everything that we made in it.
3. We made a mouse house as we tested it it changed because we made a couch but it did not work we made a another couch out of cardboard
4.The chandelier because it had to much gravity
5.The best thing was the bedroom and the painting was good I was fun and that’s what matters.
1.I just went to the cardboard section and chose a cardboard box and then I cut the flaps off and I taped the box so it can actually hold stuff. Then I used the flaps to make little sections so it is organized. Then I taped it 3 times because the tape won’t fall off and of the saying:thirds the charm .
2.The most important step was taping. If I did not tape it, it would take forever to put it together. The hot glue would have been better but it’s more dangerous and I could’ve burnt myself and burned my thingy .The smell of the hot glue gun is also bad .
3.It is something to hold my stuff because I have way too much stuff because I have so many hobbies. The whole idea changed it was supposed to be a desk organizer but it changed into a stuff holder. I also used a variety of tape to make my project.
4.The tape was frustrating. The tape was not sticking so I taped it with duct tape, normal tape and duct tape again and I think the paint helped too. Nothing really bothered me .
5.The paint really went well.It was not cracking that much which is good and I might use Mod Podge to seal it at home. The colour wasn’t very ugly too which is good .
:I made fish food holder and when it was tested it turned out great!!!!!.
:I fall owed all the steps🙂👍🏽. I thought listing and creating were the most important steps to fallow when I lost my bin that’s what I though was the worst part. I’m proud of getting my work done🙂👍🏽😄😊.
I made A bowl with a straw attached to it but it failed. I’m hoping that next time it won’t work I feel good because there was a blockage in the straw and it kept leaking ,not very much though. I want that is very hard to build a straw out of hot glue and tinfoil. I also made a Velcro attachment so you could attach a food into the side. Next time I’m thinking of buying a straw instead of making one because the straw was it was just it didn’t work it up and clogs and in that was mane problem.I was very disappointed about this project because I was very excited and I got ahead of myself when I shouldn’t have and it ended up not working so I have nothing proud about this
I followed create evaluate design and investigate because I had to try to make the headphones more then one time
Create and investigate are my my most important because I had to try multiple times and if I didn’t creat then I wouldn’t have anything made
I created headphones with hooks on them so they would stay on my ears
It didn’t work When my hot glue hooks wouldn’t come of the paper
I’m most proud of the hooks that I made because it took very long and i had to make different sizes of hooks because some wouldn’t fit my ears
I make box to hold me Pokemon card
Material list tabe duck cardboard
Wan I added the tape it’s looking cool
Everything that we did worked
I’m happy that everything that we tried work I am proud of of doing it the first time
1 our group found a problem and we didn’t really plan that much we just decided to just to a airplane pillow it didn’t really work out when we started building it we started off with a normal pillow but still nobody had the skill to make a u shaped pillow
Step 1: I got tape and the glue gun and make the wallet.
Step2:I make a phone case by using a bottle cap and tape and a glue gun.
Step3:I created a wallet and it tested positive for the me.
Step4:There were problems with or group not working with each other.
Step5:I am proud that we finish this exhibit and the wallet went well there were no problems with creating the wallet.
2 the most important step I think is finding a problem
3 we created a pillow I also created a piggy bank they both ended up good Great they worked perfectly
4 not really anything went bad EXEPT for the u shaped pillow (airplane pillow) we couldn’t make that so we just made normal square or rectangle pillows that’s it
5 everything went well I am proud of all the results we got and the products and how we made them we made them with effort we worked hard and it was fun everything went well
I mad a spaceship out of cardboard and make dos
The most important step I had was planning it out in
I spilt glue I tried putting busters on my spaceship but it didn’t work
Find a good piece of cardboard
I am most proud of cutting outdoors because they’re the most important thing of the spaceship
1. What steps did you follow to create your prototype? Give details about what you did in each part of the design process.
Step 1: I took a cardboard box or any material that is hard but not to hard.
Step 2: get any kind of earbud but for this one I use my broken one.
Step 3: cut a piece of the material you got and fold it into any shape you want but it need to have a hole.
Step 4: then rap the earbud around that cardboard piece you got.
Step 5: now your finished.
__________________________________________________________________________________________
2. Which step or steps did you find the most important? Why?
I pick step 1 because if you don’t have the material you can’t make anything
Because you have nothing to use.
__________________________________________________________________________________________
3. What did you create? How did it change as you tested it?
First our idea of creating a earbud untangler was different then when she created it we decided to change the idea to wrapping the earbud around a cardboard shape into a cylinder
__________________________________________________________________________________________
4. What didn’t go well? How did you work through it?
To me nothing gone wrong but we only got stuck at the first idea but then we changed it to the second idea.
__________________________________________________________________________________________
5. What did go well? What are you most proud of? Why?
My group creation went well because it could untangle the earbud ain’t it could fit in you pocket. I’m proud of myself and my group because we work hard to upgrade our idea and fix lots of mistake we made.
I made a Card holder
* Mater cardboard duck tape
* It’s the best card holder
* Wan I addedThe tape it lookedCool
* Everything that we tried worked
* I’m happy that everything that we tried work and
* I am proud of doing it the first time
What did you make?
I made room games for baby.
– [x] What did you use? Hot glue and fortune teller .
What are you most proud of? it is so hard but I did it.
– [ ] The steps of making our solutions is first thinking of a problem then we started to research the topic and if it actually worked. Next we started to design the iPad holder to make it look appealing.
– [ ] I feel like the most important step was evaluating the project because it dosent matter if it looks the real evaluting is if it works.
– [ ] First we wanted to make a iPad holder so we started to imagine how it would look like. Then we made the shape of the holder but the decorating went really bad.so
We redesign it so it would look perfect.
What we went through was very tough.in the beginning we couldn’t really get the perfect shape.so we just started evaluating and changing over and over again.so we can get it perfect.
What we are proud of is form how we got after when we messed up.so we got on the first try . So that’s what makes me proud of.
How I made my goal is I the fingers and then I like now you could pull it back and then like you could you were on your phone or do you want your fingers are cold and
I had to take the hot glue off of the gloves because it doesn’t work
Then I put holes in it then it worked/what level is that you could lick your fingers through it The holes in the top of the Glove in the middle of a project I change the glove to put holes in it and glue was hard to get off because it was really hard
It was hard to the cut the holes out of the glove
1. The first step find a good size box. I got scissors to cut a little door.
At the end we painted.
2. The steps I found most important was finding the right size box. Cutting a door to the bedroom.
3. I created a mouse house . How it changed as we tested it was we tried with a small box but it did not work.
4. The thing that did not go well was a chandelier it was falling we tried cutting it but nothing was working. The chimney did not work well it kept on falling.
5. I am the most proud of the mouse because it was fun to make. I am the most proud of the house it was fun.
1.)The first step that we did is we thought of what we wanted to make then we figured out what were gonna make and we also figured out why we want to make it and what’s the problem.
2.The one step that I thought was really hard is thinking of what were gonna do for the problem because a lot of people were doing the same thing and some people stole our idea.
3.)My group and I have created an iPad holder because just in case your home and you don’t feel like holding your technology cause your hand is hurting then that’s why we created he iPad holder.
4.)The thing that did not go well is that when we were making the iPad holder it got torn a little so we started over.
5.)The thing that went well that I’m most proud of is that my group was not jerking around and we all did team work I’m also very happy that we are finally done.
1. First we build then we tested if it works the next day you start decorating. one day it all went wrong because we tried using beads it was such a big mess. We were so
2.To be honest the testing was really important. I picked testing because if we put all our work into it then it just breaks we have nothing else.
3.We created a iPad and iPhone holder. We upgraded it so nicely we were amazed.
4.The paint we had to measure the paper it was hard. And mostly when we ran out of hot glue so we tried to use white glue and then we messed up really bad.
5.How it looked like at the end I was really proud. And how it worked then I used ghee Tec stuff like a computer iPhone and a iPad.
1. The. Problem was that we couldn’t find an solution
But a week after me and aminah found a solution
– [ ] 2. We made a Book holder for your books and we yo used cereal box some paper
– [ ] Glue and Tape scissors and decorations
– [ ] 3. Making the book Holder and thinking what to right was hard
– [ ] We are proud of accomplishing the task
I created differint stuff each week.
What I found that was the most imprint is when we were putting hot glue on the glove
I tested taping my iPad with a glove
When I put glue on the glove I got burnt
What did go well that when I taped my iPad with the glove it work
#1: The first step for my group was we thought of a problem are problem was that it was hard for people to put their phone somewhere without it standing. Our second step was a plan. We came up with a plan of what we wanted it to look like and then we searched up what materials we needed. Our third step was we started to solve the problem. The fourth step was we started to create and get all of the materials so we can start our creations. The fifth and final step was we finished creating and we thought of if we needed to fix up or add any Final touches.
#2: The most important steps to me was the making process and our finishing touches because the making step to me was important because I never made a phone case and a wallet so it was really cool to see what I can create. I also like doing the finishing touches because I can see what to change or touch up and it is really cool to see that my group made very interesting creations and I am proud of all of my creations.
#3: Our group created a wallet, phone case, a plastic speaker and a headphone holder. None of our creations changed. Our plan is what we came up with and our plastic speaker was the only thing that we came up with last minute. It also worked out really well with creating it.
#4: We worked through it easily because each of us had a job to do while making all of the creations. Also all of us had a plan and something to do.
#5: I think the most thing that went well was the wallet because that was the first thing we had in mind for our plan and it turned out really well.
1. The only step I followed was create and evaluate
2. The steps that I found the most important was ivauate
3. I created gloves so that your phone would not slip out of you hand if you don’t have a case it didn’t really change as I tested it
4. What didn’t go well for me was the first time i tested it it slipped out of my hand so I put just a little more hot glue then it worked
5. What did go well is that I could find gloves because at the time there was not much pairs of gloves I am most proud of that it worked because I did not think it would work
I’m had to test the “machine,”I can see if it will help me through tough times.
My most important step is planning, because I want to know what to do.
The “machine” changed my grip on my shoes, and the grip on my shoes was great.
Nothing really went wrong.
What went good was that the sponge helped improve my grip.
The steps that I followed was planning.
First, I started with creating because I had an Idea in mind, I evaluated it a couple times, and tried to improve it, but I couldn’t have it fly, it didn’t work!
I found creating and evaluating the most important, because When I finish making it, it doesn’t always work, so I test it, and improve it.
I tried to make an airplane, but it didn’t turn out how I expected it, After the first test, I added a sharp end to make it slide through the air, then I added a piece of fabric at the end to make it balance more. My project failed, but it wasn’t that far from success, I tried to add an engine, but that got wrecked, and my plane ended out without the ability to fly.
I am most proud of the design I made, because it looked pretty good, even though I thought it would fly, it actually didn’t.
1: the steps we used where design, create and investigate.In design we made it more comfortable with fabric covering the elastic. In create we created something to help us keep our hood up we used elastic band, elastic and fabric. In investigate we looked up other ways to make your hood stay up and we took 1 idea from some of them and combined them.
2: I found that the investigate was the most important because we could find better ideas for our thing.
3: we made a thing that you can put on the back of your hood to make it stay up.
It changed because you can put it in your hair and it doesn’t hurt and before that it pulled your hair and it did hurt.
4: what didn’t work was that when we were sewing the string was always breaking.
We fixed it by using hot glue gun instead and it worked very well.
5: what did go well was that the elastic was just right and it was just the right amount of strech. I am most proud of how it looked and how we got along when we were making it.
– [x] I made a Lego electric buzzer. I’m proud of it because wene I made it move it was cool. I think the best step is planing because you can plan before you make the thing your making. It didn’t work wene I coudnt even figure out what to do and then I found the piece that I needed.i liked it because if you put it in a backpack and someone is trying to steal something and touch it will make a a loud beep as a alarm. and it was fun making and I might try it on someone cause wane I made the buzzing noise the first time it was loud and it scared me.
1We made out boxes cardboard boxes tape. Sisers. Silver tape little sawes. The cardboard boxes where important because it well be a cube shape. We have created a tv we make a remot . It did go well we did a lot of work we did we are proud that because that we did are best work.
First I thought what is housed make then I made a plan and then I made my product then I tested it but it failed.the plan.the plan because It’s so hard without thinking of what your doing like trying to make roller skates but make shoes. I made a airplane .
It started bending and started to fly a little bit. When it started bending it wasn’t going well.by taking off some tape. Nothing went well. That it flew a little bit. Because that was the only good thing that happened. The materials I used were Popsicle sticks plastic baskets and tape.
1. (TOUCHSCREEN COMPATIBLE GLOVES) First, I had to get some gloves, then I needed a way to put string on the tips of the gloves after reading that is one way it will work. 2. I found that keeping the string a little bit overlapped around other string would make it work better. 3. While crating touchscreen gloves it was changing by when I was applying the string onto the gloves by threading, it was progressively getting tighter, now knowing how to thread better. 4. What didn’t go well was when it was getting tighter it was slowly becoming unwearable every time I tried to put the string on. 5. I’m proud of it because it worked and after I got the string out and used the thread to apply the string to the point that it won’t tighten it a lot and it worked.
1: We first came up with a problem which is people having a hard time cooking because they can’t see the recipe on there phone.
2 : we came up with the plan we started to look for good materials
3: we tried to solve the problem and then we got the materials
4: some parts of making the stand was hard because sometimes the things
were not easy to make.
5: then we started making it there were some ups and downs but we made the stand with the help of team work.
6.then we finally came up on a plan that was successful so then we tested the stand it actually works so then I felt like something was missing it was decorations so the we started to adding decorations that’s how we came up with our prototype.
2: The most important step was testing it and looking for good materials because some materials don’t work for making a stand because if we couldn’t find good materials we can’t make the stand.
3: we created a stand for a phone we had to change how we would test it because we have to see how stable it was and if it even works as a stand .
4:What didn’t go well is the materials because it was hard for us to find stuff to make a stand how we solved the problem is we tried to use a water bottle and beads and it actually works.5: really what didn’t go well for me is just the materials but what i’am most proud of is that my group managed to make the stand .
I 1. I made a bag for my iPad. Step 1: I took a felt and I cut it to 2 square. Step 2 I glue the 2 square together. Step 3 I took 2 yarn and glue the yarn in the bag. Step 4 I decorated it.
2. The most important is to glue the pieces altogether properly so when I put the the things it does not fall.
3. I created a bag for my iPad and I add more details to it and I add a design.
4. The thing that didn’t not go well is some glue are coming a part that why some has hole.
5. The thing that did go well is that it looks great and I am proud of it and I did it and it work.
1. First I picked a problem and then fond a solution.After that I was looking for a stable material.
2. I think the most important part is the time when I put on the duct tape because it makes it look good and makes it stable.
3. I made a little box because little things usually get lost so I made a little
box. After I made the little box I evaluated my project I had to change the duct tape because there were holes and it’s not very strong if there is holes.
4. The thing that did not work well is attaching the duct tape.
5. Glueing the the cardboard and I am proud of making a box.
MY PROJECT
Why I did this project is because I wanted to do something that was easier for me to make and it was very simple.
The step I found important to make is when I had to put soft things inside if it so the iPad would break the wood and the iPad would have a good place to stay.
How it changes when I tested was because first I’d made the iPad holder the raring size then I had to switch and cut it more to be right after I had to find any sift material for the iPad to be soft.
1.For the first part we created a box but it broke and it was not stable. In the second part we made another box and added tape, but it broke. Third we made a pyramid type cardboard box, but it was too large, so it broke. Fourth we created a smaller pyramid box and we added tape to hold the pieces together, and finally we had a product that did not break! Also we also focused more on stability and size.
2.When we restarted the planning we had to rethink the whole design or we would’ve sticked to square boxes and the boxes would have broke rapidly and we would have never found a solution so we think the planning phase was most important.
3.We created a pyramid box, but before the pyramid box it was a square box which was not stable at all and was horrible so we thought of triangles because triangles seem to keep a structures balance.
4.We thought that the first box we created was horrible because it was large and easy to break. So it lacked stability and we did not like it so we created another box and it lacked stability too. So we gave up on square boxes and thought of triangles which are easy to make, small, and stable.
5.We were most proud of the final product as it looked nice and it did not break when we used it. Also it let the earbuds fit perfectly and we did not have to keep building more boxes because we were tired of that!
love all of the projects!!!!
