This project we had to work in groups. My group was Troy, Joey, and me. We had to use fasteners to hold blocks of would together. A fastener is something that hold two or more objects together. My groups fastener was magnets. We had to come up with designs to use the magnets. We came up with a person.
 
My group did achieve success in this project. The goal was to use our fastener and keep the blocks together. We had our person stand up and the wood did stay together with the magnets holding in place. We had so difficulties in our project such as we had to cut down the wait to make it not as top heavy. Also it was hard to keep the person stand up do to the legs were not as stable. But overall we got the person to stand and used the magnets correctly.
 
The group that was successful was Matt Munez's group. They used wooden pegs to hold up blocks of would and built of a pyramid. Factors that led up to their success was that the pegs were more stable then the other fasteners and the bottom of the pyramid was easy to make. We can use this project in future ones because we will need to keep more than one object together and we will use other fasteners to make it stable. We need to learn from all projects because it helps us better in each project we do
