THE ULTIMATE CUP
,
Rafael, grade 6.
This is a warm cup design of Rafael and Daisy. There is two pictures is showing you our final project and paper prototype.
I think the hardest part is measuring, because you need very accurate details to make the thermos, and our cup is a circle shape so you can’t use ruler to measure, you need to calculate.This is a combining of design and math. Sometimes you will find out that you need to also have a guess of details, because you may need to have a guess on details because you may want to make on space on some cutting.
I think I learned about the design process, It would be very useful if you know that.
So I think that a problem that we are trying to solve is that our cap is so easy to broke. So first, we make the cap thicker so that makes the cap harder, and we put some tape on it to make it firmer so that make our cap better.
So our prototype waste lesser heat than no prototype.
Our thermos has 74.9 at last, but no thermos has 71.7 at last.
I am very proud of our thermos’s looking because everyone gives us feedback that our thermos is very pretty, it’s kind of concise style and it’s very reusable.
So if I do this project again I would probably make our thermos design bigger because we actually didn’t cover all the bottle. I think if we make it bigger, it will also be better to keep the cup warm and it will be a better design.
