• Clients

Middle and high school students who are currently learning about energy conversion in schools. Demonstrating this concept in a single toy would engage the students to be interested in and understand it.

  • Purpose

To create a toy that converts electrical energy into kinetic energy.

  • Existing solutions

This is an already existing product of my toy. I got inspired by this car and decided to recreate this by adding my own unique features.

  • Original/creativity

I would take the base process of this simple car; using similar materials to function.

The creative part of my car will be the material used for the base of it – lego. Instead of using foam board or cardboard, which are difficult to recycle it again, I decided to use legos because it can be separated into original pieces after the project. Another reason is because using legos will make my car clean and neat.

  • How it functions

This car goes by the electricity moved through the wires from the batteries to the motor, which is connected to a propeller. Then, as the propeller spins, it will create the wind needed for the car to move forward. The battery, switch, and motor is connected with different wires according to their charge. So, the user should first place the car in a spacial room, with no distractions or obstacles and then flip the switch to the “on” side to function the car.

  • Considerations

Environmental impact – My car is environmental-friendly because all the materials that are used to build the car (lego, wheel, battery etc.) can be reused or recycled.

Time – Only 4 class time is allowed to sketch and build this project. Thus, it is important to use our time wisely, planning the schedules ahead. But finishing the project too early is also unnecessary; take time to review and improve.
