Welcome to class! 

FLING MACHINE project details.

Today we will be working on finishing your design for your fling machine, construct your device making changes as needed, and launch a small beanbag and send it as far as possible.

  • 10-15 mins or less to finish design
  • Construct your chosen design
  • Test your design with 5 distance launches and 10 launches on target- make iterations as needed

At the end of class we will discuss how iteration enables us to get the best design to meet challenge criteria.

Welcome to Class!

We will start by reviewing questions that we answered yesterday:
  1.   What is Iteration and how is it used in engineering?
  2.  Review the Steps in the Design Process
  3. If you were able to start/finish the Cable Car Challenge - what is your biggest take away or learning from this activity?

We will spend the reminder of our class period learning about and starting the Instant Challenge with a partner of your choice.

Welcome to Class!

Today we are getting started with Project Lead the Way - Intro to Engineering Design.

First you need to set up an account. Click HERE to go to the website to set up your account. The class code is K3D2KM  for 5th period.

For 4th period 2GYKP8 

Look around and find the course, Introduction to Engineering Design.

We will be starting today with Unit 1 Design and Problem Solving, we will be working on Lesson 1.1.1 Design Basics.

Read through the goals, materials, and then the section Creativity in Design. As you read through this section answer the following questions in your engineering notebook:

  1. Explain what ITERATION is and how you apply iteration to the design process.
  2. Write down the steps of the DESIGN PROCESS  (click on the link in the lesson to find them) and write a sentence about what happens in each step.

You can use the rest of your time to finish your CABLE CAR CHALLENGE!
