Real World Problem

Help Summit!

ASK:

Problem: The SOARS Store cabinet has broken wheels and we need to find the best way to fix it.

Constraints: Under $200, complete-able in 2 weeks, easier is better (ex. we could rebuild the whole cabinet, but is it the best way to complete the task?)

Other Information:

Measurements- 70cm.=width , 96.50cm.= height, 46cm= length

20cm=inner support beam height, 2.5cm=inner support beam width

2.5cm=inner support beam length, 2.0c.m.= wood slab thickness(width)

Inner base distance = 178.5 cm

IMAGINE:

Sketch out your team's idea(s)

Choose the best design out of your ideas

** Bring the "Best" Idea to Mrs. Yelenick for a check and to pick up your final design paper **

PLAN:

Draw up your final design using the graph paper and/or the isometric paper

* You MUST draw the plan TO SCALE using the above measurements, 2:1 scale *

AND/OR

Compose a List of materials that you will need to construct the final design AND the prototype

** Bring the FINAL plan to Mrs. Yelenick for a check-off **

CREATE:

Create your prototype using your given (balsa wood sticks and flats) materials.

You will have 2-3 days to complete this task.

IMPROVE:

We will compile all the prototypes from each team and each team will present their design.

As a class, we will vote on the overall best design, considering: cost, time, ability, and simplicity.

** The chosen team will be given bragging rights and extra credit **

FINAL DESIGN:

We will create the final project after school. You are not required to participate in the final construction, but you will be given bragging rights and extra credit if you help to complete it.
