Garden Party Project

Garden Party Project - 
Individual Project - Research what already exists before creating a solution of your own for the following:
1) Create signs / sticks that will identify the plants that are growing.  That way when the garden looks just like a box of dirt, you can see what will be popping up in a few days.
2) Create 3d representations of helpful insects - the more cartoonish the better.  Real looking fake bugs might not be as welcoming as we would want.
3)Create signs that show the benefits of each plant that is growing, or the helpful insects that you might find in the garden.  
4) Research garden pests and create devices to scare them away.

You may build upon ideas that already exist or combine features from several to be your one solution, but the final solution must be your own original work not just a copy of work that already exists.

For information on how to use the machines in the room, please check out the links along the right hand side of the screen.

Save the Planet Project

Save the Planet Project - 
Individual Project - Research what already exists before creating a solution of your own for the following:
1) Develop a device with sign that would encourage students to put their trash in the trash can
2) Develop a device with sign that would encourage students to put their recycling in the recycling can
3) Create stencils to paint signs next to storm drains warning that what is thrown down the storm drain ends up in our oceans

You may build upon ideas that already exist or combine features from several to be your one solution, but the final solution must be your own original work not just a copy of work that already exists.

You already know how to use 3d software to create an export .stl file for printing - but you may want to use the Carvey or Laser for larger builds.

5.3.7 Speedster Design and Fabrication - Week 2

Now that you have finished building your Martian Speedster

Step 1) Decorate your speedster with crayons, colored pencils and pens.  Make sure that your name is still visible on the bottom.

Step 2) While waiting for others to finish up, you need to create a presentation of your speedster. Color your speedster in Inventor to match the way you colored it in real life.

Step 3) Download and open the files for the front wheel, rear wheel and axle and save them to your computer.
