Students should work in groups of 4. Each student in the group will be assigned a different type of medical tool, which must be kept clean during surgical operations. The initial goal of the challenge is for each student to design a tool holder for their tool using 3D modeling software. After they have designed their holder, they need to work together as a group to connect all of their solutions into a single holder for all four tools.
While tackling the challenge, all students should engage in the complete engineering design process using the EDPL to record their steps. The process begins with students researching what the tool is used for, as part of the Problem Understanding step.
