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

This device is a toy for younger age kids (age 3+). This is an educational toy that allows kids to understand how a toy car can move using elasticity.

What is the environmental impact of my product and is it durable and safe?

This product is safe because it is designed for young kids use the main materials used are wood and elastic bands, and a wheel which is commonly used in daily life among many people.

What precedents inspired me? What did I take away from them & how did it inform my choices?

Thinking about the idea to make the car, I thought of an experience that I has when I was young. Me and my friend played with a rubber band, stretching out and launching the rubber band at each other.  This came to my mind so I thought it would be cool if I make a car using a similar method.

How am I making my product original and/ or using creativity?

There are some products that are similar to this. However, this toy car is designed for educational purposes. I did not make the cover of the car. It may seem weird however not making the cover of the toy car allows kids to see how it works.
