Description: My Helicopter is based on a wooden block. The wooden block is a stable place for my helicopter to sit. On top of the wooden block is a plastic white tube. The tube is connected to the two pieces of cardboard that make up the helicopter. The two pieces of cardboard are connected at the top and bottom leaving space in the middle for the motor The motor is connect to a a circular disk, on top of the disk is a couple pieces of cardboard that look like propellers. Attached to the motor are two pieces of a wire that are connected to battery that also has two wires. In order to connect the wires we need to satire the wires together. Now I press the button that controls the spinning disk on the top.
Materials:
1. wooden block
2. white plastic tube
3. card board
4. motter

Challenges
a. It was challenging for me to stick the motor between the pieces of cardboard. I eventually got it in the perfect spot where the disk would spin without seeing the motor on the top.
b. To fix this problem i cut the pieces of cardboard so the disk would spin and also added pieces of paper inside the helicopter so you couldn't see the motor.

Fun
The most fun part of my project was thinking of my idea and creating it. I really liked shaping my helicopter and seeing how it was going to turn out in the end.
Learn
a. Before starting this project I had no idea what a satire was and how to work it. I thought it was really cool how we melted the two pieces of wire together.
b. When the helicopter motor wasn't working because the card board was in the way i did strategies a little to make sure that my project could work more efficiently. I didn't want to put so much cardboard or take so much off so I remade my helicopter so it would work better.
Changes
If I could change anything I would make my helicopter bigger so that it looks more like a helicopter or even 3D print it for more detail.
Note: ( I don't have the sketch of my helicopter)
