Pinellas Park Middle School Talking points The world of manufacturing is all around us. Almost everything we use in our daily lives has been created and manufactured by someone else. Recommendations Make reference to manufactured objects in the room, from desks and chairs to lamps, windows, carpets, books and clothing. Two broad areas you might start with are materials and process. Why is this item made from ____? How do you think someone makes this shape? Adapt or replace this slide to objects that might be more relevant or interesting to your audience. Pinellas Park Middle School STEAM Summer Camp June22, 2001

Welcome to manufacturing! What is manufacturing? To make stuff Enjoying making new things..and a lot of them in a fast way using technology and your skills Important TEAM WORK! Welcome to manufacturing!

Manufactured Goods Talking points The range of manufactured products is very diverse. Toys, medicines, technology, transportation, food, clothing and sporting equipment are some of the many examples of manufactured goods. Recommendations Invite the participants to suggest additional examples of manufactured goods.

Manufacturing Goal 1. Making something. 2. Making a lot of them 3. Making money on what you make. Talking points Why manufacture things? To introduce or share an invention or practical solution, to find efficient and cost-effective ways to make many copies of the same invention and to profit from this effort. Recommendations Ask participants to share examples of any personal experiences they may have had creating and selling something (e.g. cards, cookies, bird feeders, or other products or inventions). 4. Making a lot of money when you make a lot of them.

The Manufacturing Cycle How we make “stuff” The Manufacturing Cycle Innovate 1 Distribute 6 Design 2 Fabricate 3 Talking points Although there are many different manufacturing processes, there are often some common steps during the manufacturing cycle. The steps described here are similar to an engineering design process. This often includes: plan, design, check and share. In the next few slides we will illustrate the manufacturing cycle of a barcode printer. Recommendations Invite participants to list examples of how barcodes are used in everyday life. Market 5 Test 4

Let’s make something! 1. What do you want to make? Design & Innovate 2. How can we do that? Fabricate & Test 3. How & where can we sell it? Market & Distribute Talking points Why manufacture things? To introduce or share an invention or practical solution, to find efficient and cost-effective ways to make many copies of the same invention and to profit from this effort. Recommendations Ask participants to share examples of any personal experiences they may have had creating and selling something (e.g. cards, cookies, bird feeders, or other products or inventions).

Let’s start our Manufacturing Teams Make 4 groups Groups will: sketch out new invention using manufacturing process IMPORTANT: Team Work ! Respect, Listening, Speaking, Adapt

Innovate & Design Name of the factory What are we making? What will it do? What will it look? How it will perform? How it could be built? You have 10 min, start now! Innovate Design 1 2 3 4 Talking points For any product to be manufactured it most first be invented by someone. A new product can be a solution to a know problem or a new opportunity for something that did not existed before. A barcode is a machine-readable information that can be read by optical scanners. Some sample applications of bar codes include tickets for movies, labels for merchandise in stores, labels for medicines and tags patients in a hospital. Recommendations Invite participants to list other uses of barcode labels. Find bar codes on items in the room and describe their features and uses. 5 6

Test: It works? Quality control Talking points Many skilled technicians intervene in transforming a set of blueprints into actual products. Depending on the products, materials and processes, the manufacturing team may include electricians, welders, electronics technicians, assemblers, painters, programmers, mechanics, laser and optics specialists and many others. The result is a functional and integrated product (or component for another product). There are many different way to fabricate something. An optimal, cost-effective method most be chosen or invented. You have 10 min, start now!

Market & Distribute You have 10 min, start now! How to market? Who is buying it? How many? Distribution? 2 3 4 5 Market Distribute 5 6 Talking points Packing, shipping and distribution are the final components of the manufacturing process. Products need to be transported by air, land or sea to the hands of its final consumers. These same transportation networks might be used to deliver the raw materials or components to the manufacturing pant. There are many supporting industries to the entire field of manufacturing, each providing opportunities and jobs to many more individuals. Package engineers and technicians optimize how a product is packaged, how much volume it occupies, how much protecting packaging is needed and what materials are used. Recommendations See recommendations on next slide. You have 10 min, start now!

Presentation of Manufacturing Teams 5 min per team!

Remember MANUFACTURING is Fun + Great pay = Great Lifestyles!
