Idea Generation - Propeller Car Redesign

In the previous design challenge, you built Gabe Ficklin's Propeller Car and then re-designed/modified and built a second car from scratch using sustainable design principles. This time, you will design a new version of the propeller car to go farther, faster and straighter. You may build rapid prototypes, but this is a time-constrained project focusing on idea generation and communicating your design ideas.

Follow the Design Process that you learned in The Wallet and Design a new Propeller Car to go farther, faster and straighter

• Conduct research on DIY/Hobby Propeller Cars by others (search the Web)
• Conduct multiple idea generation exercises to refine, modify and improve your design, and consider changes which could make your new propeller car design go farther, faster and straighter than Gabe's scripted design
• Study the creative ideas that your classmates used in earlier idea generation sessions
• Make a list of improvements you could make to your group's first iteration
• Generate the Best Ideas - Choose the top 2 or 3
• Make drawings - of your design and storyboards of the design process - to explain how you arrived at the best ideas. This is a skills exercise to develop how to communicate your design
• Optional - you may design/build prototypes and test your ideas, but remember, this is a time-constrained project focused on idea generation and communicating the process of how you arrived at the best design idea

This is a Group Project. But your Web Post is an individual effort.

Make sure there is only ONE duplication of your Innovation Rubrics among your 3-person group

There are five (5) instances in the Innovative Rubric regarding Thinking Creatively, and three (3) instances in the Innovation Rubric regarding Working Creatively with Others.

1. For two Instances of Thinking Creatively in the Innovation Rubric (Above), post a 50-100 word journal for each instance along with supporting evidence (sketches, drawings, images, video) demonstrating how you performed on each instance of Thinking Creatively.
2. For one instance of Working Creatively with Others in the Innovation Rubric (Above), post a 50-100 word journal for each instance along with supporting evidence (sketches, drawings, images, video) demonstrating how you performed on each instance of Working Creatively with Others.

Scoring - three instances per person in your group; 20 points max per instance (60 points total)
