Unit 1 Design Challenge: Flash Drive
Define the Problem Problem: I lose my flash drives and would like to store all of them in one place. Either on my desk or in my backpack.
Do background research What information would we need to know?
Specify requirements Design a flash drive organizer that meet the following requirements: Can “organize” 4 flash drives. Secure them so they don’t fall out easily. Use as little plastic as possible (as little waste plastic as possible) Bonus: Doubles for another purpose.
Brainstorm, Evaluate and Choose Come up with as many ideas as you can: Quantity over quality Combine ideas Evaluate and pick one
Develop a Solution Each person in your group is going to use CAD (Tinkercad or Inventor) to design a solution. Because our printers are not functional yet, as a group, you will decide which one it the best, and we will 3D print one per group. Your group will use a decision matric to decide the best.
Test Solution Print it.
Evaluate (Solution meets or only partially meets requirements) Go back and make changes After it is printed, evaluate it.
Communicate results Gallery walk when we are done.
