Technology challenges

Technology Challenges are a great way to explore ideas and concepts and can be applied to STEM (Science, Technology, Math and Science). Looking at ways to improve or even invent new products can also provide different career options. The activities in the navigation bar will support your learning and move you to design, create and make and challenge your critical thinking skills.

You will first complete the Introduction to TinkerCAD which will allow you to navigate the software and allow you to build confidence in designing objects. Once your completed the assignment, you will move into the "Technology Challenges" where you will need to research, sketch, design, draw and print your final products. You will also be require to complete the Design Process Booklet including the steps to design, create, build and evaluate for both challenges. The fields that are marked "Required" will need to be completed.

The first challenge is to design a locking mechanism for a cupboard door; and the second will be one of your choice - maybe as a need in your own home.
