  1. Explain how you used design thinking practices to arrive at this iteration of your toy/device.

To arrive at this iteration of my device, I went through several design thinking processes. First, to start my design of the device, I have to make sure my measurement of the device will be accurate, at the model that I drew, I make sure to draw out all the measurements of my model. Then, I Decide on the materials I will be using, this is also included in the drawing of the model. At last, we figured out how to correctly use and understand the wires and electrical Structures. This process helps me to be sure that my model will be successfully made with zero to no mistakes.

  1.  Share your design concept–>show photos, measurements, materials, and techniques needed for construction.

 

Shown are some of the materials that I will be using, including fake grass for decoration, and stick for the telephone pole. There is also a sketch model of the prototype we will be making. This includes the measurements and materials of the prototype. Some of the techniques we will be using include 3d printing, glue guns, sanding, cutting wood, and connecting wires

 

3.Develop a detailed plan for creating the preferred design, including success criteria.

First, after sending the 3d printing model to print, we find a wooden piece that is 50*50, if not possible, laser cut or cut by hand. Then, find materials for the lighting system and finish the wiring by following instructions online. After, label out the areas that will be decorated with grass and other objects. Then, I will securely the finish light system on the 50*50 platform. Then, place and secure the finished 3D model onto the platform. At last, we add grass and other decor on top and check everything.
