Winter Wonder

Design and build a product that solves a problem related to the winter season, or, can be a fun new product to make winter more enjoyable.

There are no limits to your ideas, but some suggestions are:

• Helping homeless people in the cold

• Food/shelter for winter birds or other wildlife native to our area

• An innovative take on sledding

• Snowball mechanics

• An innovative hot cocoa mug

• Never before seen hats, gloves, or sock adaptations

• An interactive art display

• AR (augmented reality) activity

• Something to help when the power goes out

• A digital design, story, show episode, etc.

• Grow crystal ornaments

Your project must be brought to school and displayed in school through the month of January.  

Mr. Molloy will help you locate and setup your display.

Criteria:

• Must demonstrate creativity and/or out of the box thinking

• Must solve a problem or improve something

• Include a QR code linking to a video or website, or, a poster explaining your product

Constraints:

• Must be small enough to fit on a desk / small table

• Must be school appropriate

• Must be student made.  Adults can contribute when tools are too dangerous or materials need to be ordered, but kids must do all planning and assembly on their own to the best of their ability.

Using the Design Thinking Process is a time tested way to ensure an innovative, quality product can be created.  

Using AI is acceptable, but only so long as it assists a human, and does not replace a human.
