In complete sentences, describe what you did to complete this assignment/activity:
To complete this assignment, first I had to go onto tinkerCAD and create a new building platform.
Then, I dragged shapes however I wanted to onto the grid, and I decided to make a cat because I like cats.
I first made the face, and grouped shapes how I wanted me chess piece cat’s face to be like. I grouped the
shapes and then continued on for the body and the limbs. After, I gave my cat accessories. When that was
all done I made the platform where my chess piece would stand. Then, I copy and pasted the link onto my
teacher’s Google Classroom and he 3D printed it.

In complete sentences, explain why this assignment/activity demonstrates the skill checked above:
This activity demonstrates personal management skills because to complete this activity I kept on
trying to perfect the chess piece. In the first place I had to decide what I would make and what it would
look like, and think about what I could do to fit the requirements such as sizing it small like an actual
chess piece. When I was done I had to submit the link in Google Classroom on time.

In at least three complete sentences, write a detailed response to the question you chose above:
I think this work would be one of my best because I think this is the project I liked most in 3D
printing. I had fun dragging out shapes to make a cat which was also supposed to resemble a chess piece. I
think this is one of the best also because it is a cat and I really like it because of that. I think I made and
scaled the shapes to make it resemble a cat and I like the way it printed. Even though it didn’t print any
colors, I think that this would be one of my best work.
