This project is not complete, but it is in the works. The goal of the project is to make a hydraulic arm out of cardboard and syringes. So far, we have made the base and we have cut out the other parts to the arm. We hope that in the end, the hydraulic arm will be able to pick up something like a can.
The 21st century skills I used in doing this project were: Thinking and Problem solving skills, Interpersonal Skills, Communication Skills and Information skills. In doing this project I learned that there are multiple ways to build a hydraulic arm, and Mr. H is giving us the creative freedom to build and make it however we want. I also learned that this project will take a lot of trial and error. This will help me grow by allowing me more creative ability and expression in school and to help my mechanical skills.
