E- STEM Principles

This page concerns the engineering issues we faced such as size weight, and ability to hold weight.

Expert Greenwood feedback "To avoid splintering [such as in the legs] try nailing from the other side rather than between the grains. Predrill smaller holes works really well. [Regarding] nails poking through side. Just need to pound them more more perpendicular and start them in the middle of target. Nails bend occasionally. Just takes practice. Helps to start the nail with small taps until it is far down enough to stay perpendicular."

Therefore, this section was essential in our understanding of our design requirements and necessary engineering concepts to be put into use in our prototypes.
