RC Car:
The ChargeNORTH juniors were tasked with designed an RC car chassis on Onshape, a CAD website, in order to eventually print it, assemble the materials, add a motor, and wire it with electrical components to propel it forward. In conjuction with AP Physics 1, this car taught our juniors how velocity, acceleration, and friction function alongside the engineering aspect of hands-on building.

ChargeNORTH Proposal:
Engineering goes beyond the challenge of 3D printing and tangible assemblies. Mr. Daab challenged our juniors to utilize their creativity and pitch a new ChargeNORTH initiative proposals, with a slidedeck and presentation as a part of the assignment. Ranging from ideas of a student-coded 3D Printer Reservation App to a ChargeNORTH End-of-Year Field Day idea, juniors were able to practice their speech and put their creativity into action!

Business Cards:
As a part of the RC car project, the juniors were prompted to extend past the engineering aspect and explore the design and real-world application of what owning a car company would entail. Therefore, Mr. Daab assigned the juniors to create a company persona surrounding their car's aesthetic, brand, and model, requiring business cards for each group member/"employee" of the project.
