Innovation Project
The Innovation Project is the final I-STEM sprint where we were asked to design a solution to an issue that we feel passionate towards. This project is a culminating design challenge where we were able to use the engineering toolkit skills, such as collaboration and design thinking, that we have developed throughout the course of this year, and continue to enhance those skills which are very important in the real world.
UN Sustainable Goals
The UN sustainable development goals are 17 goals that aim to create a better future. These goals include no poverty, clean water and sanitation, climate action, etc. To learn more about how we designed our product while keeping the UN sustainable goals in mind, take a look at our proposal where we mention which goal we centered our design around.
Engineering Design Process
The engineering design process is a set of steps that an engineer takes to come up with a successful solution. The design process consists of 7 steps with feedback throughout. During the first step, ask, you start by defining the problem. You then conduct research into your targeted issue and then proceed to imagine solutions. Next you must plan and create your prototype, then test that prototype and make any necessary improvements.
