Sarah’s Big Idea:
Students will be given a scenario in which they must design a piece of furniture that is adapted to a specific problem or location. For example, a person without the use of both legs must be able to sit in it, or the location the piece of furniture will be in must be able to withstand high winds such as in a hurricane. They will design a furniture model on isometric paper, transform that into a 3d model on tinkercad, create a scale sized prototype on a 3d printer, and build a final piece of furniture based off their designs. The engineering design process will be used throughout this project and students will be required to follow monetary restraints and budget materials.
