1. What has your group worked on so far?
Our group started by attaching three sides of our big box to the bottom. The fourth side is our door. Next, to make our structure a little bit taller, we added one of the boxes from the computers to the top of the box. We also worked on making "screen" for the inside of the Time Machine. We used the image of the computer from the side of the computer box and we wrote "Welcome to Dr. When's Time Machine" on it.
2. What are one challenges your group faced?
Our group was faced by the challenge of figuring out how to attach the sides of the box. We tried tape, which didn't hold very well and hot glue, which wasn't thick enough and it dried too quickly.
3. How did you overcome these challenges (or work around them)?
We used wood glue to attach the sides and bottom. So far it seems to be holding pretty well. The only problem is that it's really drippy and takes a while to dry. Wood glue didn't work for the top, though, so we had to stick with tape.
4. What is the next step for your group?
We have to start thinking abut decorations. We might want to use paint but in order to make out time machine look more future-esque, we need to add things like bottle caps and styrofoam pieces, etc.
5. What are your favorite parts about woking on this project so far?
I like how we can create something really awesome out of only cardboard and I love watching our machine come together.
6. What parts have been the most difficult?
For me, the most difficult thing has been trying to put our box together in the right way without it falling apart.
