Project Title: Soapbox car step by step

A. Project Abstract: For my senior capstone project I will be building and designing a soapbox car. I have never built a soapbox car this will be
challenging for me. The materials i will need and use will include: wood, screws, nails, hammer, nail gun, small wheels, paint, and my mentor
Mr.Wanner. My expenses for my project will cost around sixty-five to seventy dollars. The project will take around two to three months to build and
in order to complete it i will have to manage my time. I like building things and using my hands, that is why i chose to do this specific project, and i
also want to make a little child happy. In order to complete the whole project and impress the judges i will need to work on my time management,
organizational skills, presentation , and orientation skills.

B. Learning Skills:
Goal/Skill How will you be stretched

Time Management I will have to follow my due dates and not procrastinate. I will also have to start early and work on my
project every chance I get.

Organization I will need to have everything from the plans to the materials organized and in a place i will
remember. I will not be able to have a mess and things scattered all over the place.

Presentation When presenting i will need to speak loudly and clearly, remeber to make eye contact and don't
look at the paper too often.

Orientation All my work will need to be neat, in order, and ready to present when it is my time to shine.
