7P10 - STEM

The video on the far left of the screen is what the ATM looks like on the inside during the use of it. The picture in the middle shows what the inside of the ATM looks like normal. The video on the far right is what the ATM looks like during use on the outside.

Using our STEM skills, and many different pieces to create a cardboard ATM. In order to create this we used a cardboard box, yarn, hotwheels cars, and tracks, as well as an old telephone pad, and duct tape. We decided to do this to push our creativity and ingenuity to its limits.

During this project my group learned different ways to cause the car to move at the correct time while getting money to the person pushing the keys. We decided to connect a string to a cardboard piece which was holding back the car, when the string was moved the cardboard piece also moved causing the car to be released and deliver the money.

The 7 standards of the class are Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. My project ties to Innovative Designer, and Creative Communicator because during the design process my partners and I needed to be able to try different solutions and discuss different possible solutions to have the best turnout.

A challenge we overcame during this project was trying to make the string that was needed to pull more discrete. This was important to give even more of an ATM type of illusion. Though this proved to be more difficult than expected we were able to create a type of pulley system that was at least a bit more discrete.

Given a chance to do this again we would chose to create a more formal looking exterior to give it a more profession vibe seeing as we were trying to imitate a money system that many adults use. We would do this so that it could look more realistic. We would also like to have more time to be able to try and hide the less attractive parts of the design.

This project could connect to careers in engineering due to all of the different moving parts included in creating it. When you are in the early stages of engineering a new design you have to try many different things to make the out come the most efficient, and the most attractive design.
