Give an overview of your design process, sharing the product & your learning

  1. I thought of an idea (what to make)
  • car
  • rubberband
  • solar pannel
  • wind

chose the rubber band

 

  1. I drew a sketch

 

  1. I thought of materials I need
  2. I gathered the materials
  3. I started to design
  4. Make sure that it works

 

Use the rubric & your own success criteria to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the product

Strenght: the strength of my product is as I mentioned in blog post 1, it is designed as an educational toy for kids which makes them learn how this car moves in a fun way. It is very easy to use.

Weakness: Since it is made with a wood sticks and straws, it is not that strong.

Explain how and why my toy/device meets the design specifications

The car has a clear user, is simple to use, and does not have a separate top of the car so that children can gain this knowledge through play in a way that uses elasticity to gain strength and move forward.

 

Other reflections: What am I most proud of? What was most challenging?

The proudest part of my product is that it actually works. Also, my friends also played well with it. The challenging part was when the straw and the wheel did not stick with hot glue. (solved it using super glue)
