Define The Problem

A wealthy man who lives in Ocracoke wants our school, AFHS, to design a sustainable putt-putt course. Ocracoke is a remote island that needs to reuse all of its resources as it is difficult for them to get resources from outside the island. As a result of this our golf course needs to be sustainable and reusable. Our task is to make an 18 hole golf course, but only half of the 36 groups will get to include their golf course in the final course. 

Criteria

• Every team must design a unique Putt-Putt Mini golf hole

• Each Putt-Putt hole must have a theme related to Engineering / Simple Machines

• Each Putt-Putt Hole design must include 1 PSA per group member related to sustainability & conservation

• Each Putt-Putt hole needs to incorporate at least 3 different types simple machines

• Each Putt-Putt hole needs to have an automated action powered by an Arduino Board (Ex. LED light turns on when the ball passes a certain point)

• Each Putt-Putt hole prototype must fit into a 18” x 18” x 18” cube

• The Putt-Putt hole cup needs to be 1 inch in diameter

Constraints

• Limited time to build

• Has to fit in an 18x18x18in cube

• Must be made out of sustainable material

• Hole needs to be an inch in diameter

• Must use arduino board in some aspect of the design

• Limited materials available

Materials include:

• • Cardboard (paper towel tubes, amazon boxes)

  • Wood (toothpicks, dowel rods)

  • Legos

  • Paper

  • Plastic cups

  • Foam (or other packing materials you save from deliveries)

  • Any other material you or your family can spare
