corrugated Cardboard chair project
corrugated Cardboard chair project
The students have all of the 3rd marking period to work on this project. It starts with learning about structural support, goes into sketch work, 1/8" models of themselves and their concept chair (which has been sketched in Inventor), students make modifications as necessary, create a final assembly of their chair on Inventor, use the plotter to print out their templates, and finally cut each individual piece to prep for assembly. The project was started as planned but due to COVID-19, students had to work at home for the last few weeks of the project. They overcame many obstacles and did a wonderful job!
**This project wouldn't be made possible without the help of Mr. Hanold who has donated the sheets of corrugated cardboard for our students since 2012, THANK YOU!

This was a design challenge done by all Drafting & Design II and Engineering students. The students were not limited to their supplies and could use anything they had around them, they were able to make a boat small for a sink or large for a pool.

Students were to come up with their own STEM design challenge for others in our community to do. They did not have to come up with the project from scratch, they could find an existing STEM project and recreate it.

Design Brief: Create a device that will pick up a golf ball and place it in a cup then repeat this action 4x. In class there would be a semicircle of cups and a golf ball holder. Students were given 8 syringes and tubing.
Normally, students would have the last 2 weeks of school to be working in small groups of 3 or 4 to complete this project, given our new life style all students worked alone and they had a little over 3 weeks to complete the task.
Each Friday students submitted a comprehensive design log, which included photos along with a description of what they did that week or they could submit a weekly video showing what was completed.
