1. What is the purpose of your device/toy, how does it function, and who is your user?

The project will be an educational model that is aiming to educate others about energy, in which, my user will be young children between the age of 6-10(elementary students). When creating my model, I will be using a 3d model, wires, batteries, and light bulbs. we will be building a system that will light up a house. This will demonstrate to students about electric energy transforms into light energy and provides energy for our daily life such as light in the house. This would be a project within our ability to do and would be educational, giving elementary school students a simple understanding of energy changes

2. What is the environmental impact of your product and is it durable and safe?

We will be using recycle environmental cardboard, therefore it will be environmentally friendly. We will be working with only simple structures and electronics, however, we will pay close attention when working with wires and glue guns.

3. What precedents inspired you? What did you take away from them & how did it inform your choices?

We are inspired by the model below. We will be making a house similar to this. However, we will be using batteries at an energy source and will be adding our own style, and since this model doesn’t work, we will be making it so that it actually works.

4. How are you making your product original and/or using creativity?

In order to make our product original, we use materials from the school and we use recyclable cardboard. These value boards come from the school and the students use the remaining materials, they will be recycled, it will be good for the environment, and the discarded materials will be reused.  we will also be adding colors and backgrounds to make it cartoony, which will be more fun for elementary students. we will also be adding a light source that will actually make the device work and light up the house.
