Introduction 
This is a cardboard house that me and my two classmates made for our Electric House project in Science. For this project we had to make a house of cardboard, (no pre-made furniture), and in the house have 5 lights with 2 switches only using one battery.
Define 
Once we finished actually building our house, we needed to find something to fix using technology. Our school is super lucky to have 3D printers, so we could use those for our project. We very clearly noticed the giant battery sitting on our roof, since there was nowhere else to put it. We we wondering how we could hide it, or make it look more normal.
Dream
I had the idea to print a chimney for our roof. We would measure the size of the battery and leave enough room for the chimney to sit nicely on top.
Deliver
My friend Mishel did most of our planning for the 3D printing portion of the project, so I don’t know exactly how she did everything. But once our Tinkercad plan was done, we me and Mishel went down to the Maker Space. Mr. Kang and Mrs. Henderson helped us learn how to connect our plan with the USB stick, then to the 3D printer. At this point we ran into an issue. We realized our chimney was way too big. So we had to edit the diameters and try again. Then we ran into another problem; our USB stick wasn’t working with any of the printers. This was easily fixed, we just used another stick.
The next day, we picked up our print job. Something we didn’t consider were the wires. At this point, all our wires are connected to the battery, so the chimney wouldn’t fit on top of the battery. The only way it would work was if we disconnected everything, put the chimney over the battery and connected all the wires that way. That would take too long and we were running out of time. So, we did the next best thing! On the other side of the house, across from the battery, was a light bulb going into the ceiling. Our chimney perfectly covered the light!
Debrief
Overall, our idea worked, just not how we originally thought. Things we could have done better: measurements.
Very good explanation of how you used the solution fluency to address a problem with your electric house. I am very proud of you to use 3D printing to make a chimney battery holder even if it didn’t work out the way you thought. You included some great media showing what your solution looks like. Consider stepping more out of your comfort zone and being even more creative with your dreaming. How could the knowledge you gained with this approach help you in the future?
