locker
here both the locker n the door are clear color to be able to see the inside of the locker |
this locker has the door already is the darker blue color |
this is the locker and the door |
THIS IS THE ASSEMBLY |
CHS lockers-The locker was 10" wide 17" tall and 11" this is the side of the locker and is also the measurments that i decided to use for my locker
Brainstorm Solutions=making a locker that is spaces and also a locker that xould be useful.i will make the shelfs inside the locker darker and the walls of the locker lighter for that you are able to see inside of the locker and i made the door dark to for that their is a difference between the walls of the locker and the door.
Sketch Three Possible Solutions (include labels and important dimensions)
Identify Criteria and Constraints
the criteria is that i need to make a locker that will be useful and following the size that i was given.
Select an Approach (justify selection with specifics)

shopping cart
1. The folks at IDEO state that they are not experts in any given area. But, they do claim to be experts on the__the process of design_, which they apply to the innovation of consumer products.
2. After the team of designers is brought together, told the problem, and informed they have five days to “pull it off,” what phase of the design process do they immediately engage in? brainstorming designs 3. Give two examples of what the team members did during this phase.
1)they drew information about the shopping cart and what to improve of it
2)they drew sketches and put ideas to work.
1. drew sketches
2.they went to places were they use shopping carts and thats a way to find ideas and to see what they could improve
5. List five rules-of-thumb that IDEO employees follow when they share ideas during the brainstorming phase:
a. one conversation at a time
b. stay focused
c. encourage wild ideas
d. defer judgement
e. build on the ideas of others
6. Why should wild (and sometimes crazy) ideas be entertained during the brainstorming phase?
because is a way to get ideas and it is also a way to look at a different side of things. sometimes when we act wild and crazy we tend to open our mind to a more brought thing. it helps created ideas that other people mind like.
7. After the brainstorming phase was over, the team narrowed down the hundreds of ideas by _____________ for those ideas that were not only “cool” but also _________________ in a short period of time. What phase of the design process is this called?
by voting and also buildable meaning they can do....this is call criteria and contraints because they vote and by that they know if it is going to work and by knowing that they can build it they wont have know constraints.
8. IDEO believes that the ideas and efforts of a ______________ will always be more successful than the planning of a lone genius.
trial and error or of a team....
9. Once the ideas were narrowed down and divided into categories, the group was split into four smaller teams. What phase(s) of the design process was each of these groups responsible for?shopping ,safety checking it out and also what others wil look

10. The leaders at IDEO believe that ________________ behavior and a ______________ environment are two important reasons why their employees are able to think quickly and creatively to produce innovative results.
a playful behavior and a fun enviorment
a playful behavior and a fun enviorment
11. Sometimes, people come up with great solutions that work by trying their ideas first, and asking for _________________ later.
forgiveness
12. Design is often a process of going too far and having to take a few steps back. What phase of the design process would the critique of the four mock-ups come under?
Exploring Possibilities and also to find a aproach to improvements
13. Upon critique of the four teams’ models, it was obvious that none of the teams had developed an optimum solution. However, the people at IDEO believe that it is important to _____________ often in order to _____________ sooner.
fail and succeed
14. What percentage of the entire week’s time did it take to fabricate the final prototype?
they work 2 days and a hour and although they didnt work two straight days they split the time in the five days that they had.
15. Instead of showering his design team with a tremendous amount of praise, what did the boss require his employees to do with their new design?
find out opinions and by knowing what they can improve in their project.
16. Of all the things that we are surrounded by every day, what has not been placed through the design process?
well everything has gone through design even nature now a days we try to even make it how we want to and one thing that i could say that they dont design is a baby but i dont know if that conserns with this.
1. What did you find to be the most impressive part of the team’s effort?
they were able to stay on task even if they know that it took a long time to do it and the other thing that impress me was that they were able to put all their ideas together and sometimes that is hard.

another thing that impress me was that they all work together unlike in some teams only one person those all the work and that is wrong.
2. What advantages are there to having a design team with members that have non-engineering backgrounds?they are able to bring different ideas and they are able to put their perspective of a consumer unlike a engineering their ideas only pertains of makin g something work unlike a non engineering they want something that works and also something that will look kool and that they can use all the time.
3. There was a point in the process where a self-appointed group of adults stepped up, stopped the ideas, and redirected the group to break up into teams. Why was this done?
to be able to get more ideans and to make the process work faster .this is also a way to work ideas down because each team can work one idea .
4. At the end of the video, Dave Kelly states, “Look around. The only things that are not designed are the things we find in nature.” Can you think of anything that would contradict this statement?
well now they clon nature meaning that they take their blood and make copies of a animal and they do things to plan to make them grow a certain way / fruits they put things to make them grow bigger or faster.

this is my cad work for the glider
Friday, April 15, 2011
GLIDERSSS
our second glidder. |
oue broken glidder |
the side part of our glidder. |
2) Brainstorm solutions: making a light glider that doesnt weight to much.
-What are the rules of brainstorming? well their are not really rules the rules could be to have a actual glider for when we try than and to try your best not just make a glider that we didnt really like.
-List your ideas:1)one of my ideas was to make a glider that was small with long winds
2)my second idea was to make a long glider with the winds a bit bend because like that it will get enough air inside the winds for it to fly and hopefully it will be able to stay in the air long.
3)my thrid idea was to make a glider with a tail and with a head and with a long center part.and it could be made of normal printer paper but we could still use the wood that we were given.we could use the paper that they gave us.
4)but we end it up making another brain storm after our first glider broke.
- a glider shape like a cross and insted of wood we could use paper roll up into pieces of wood
- a glider shape like a circle and we could use pencils like woo
3) Specify:
-Criteria
-Constraints (be specific about materials available)
- one of the constraints was to make it fly
- another is that we didnt have enough materials we were only given paper and tinny pieces of wood that were really easy to brake specially while trying to work with than and that was one of the hardest thing that we face because pieces could just end up breaking.
- the biggest constrain that we had was that our first glider broke and we were left without any materials and we had to make something work in just one day. but at the end of the day paper sticks made our glider work and fly atlist for a bit.
- one constraint that we had was that it was hard to come up with ideas speacially if we didnt seen to agree in my team.
- another constrain was that the glue didnt want to glue.
- we should had broke our fisrt glidder it was hard to make a second one
- the chart was helpful because it help us decide what to improve in our glidder specially when at the beginning it only seem to go backward
4) Develop Solutions:
the chart |
the desighs that we use. |
this is the cab of our first plane |
this is our second glidder the inside looks like a cross and i made it color green because it was succesful |

eggg drop
- Team up with a partner
- Lilia Vargas
- Define the challenge, criteria and constraints
- The challenge: construct a barrier to protect the egg from breaking when dropped off the 2nd floor balcony of the 700 building
- no constraints or criteria
- but to get as many points as possible for the achivements one has to:
- make the barrier a certain size
- biggest: material fits into a paper box
- smallest: material fits into an altoid box
- Brainstorm solutions
- first:
- a box with clothing to cover the egg
- second:
- bubble wrap,a small box and the egg inside
- third:
- two caps inside each other,clothing,inside the cups,than top to cover it and the egg
- fourth:a bag with clothing and also bubble wrap around the egg to make it stay together and not break
- Identify materials to bring in for "Build Day" (block day)
- clothing racks,two plastic cups and tape and also a cover for the cups.
it weight 75... |
Achievements:
Brainstorming-Create a sketch of one possible solution. Include labels.
-Create a sketch of another possible solution. Include labels.
-Create a sketch of a third possible solution. Include labels.
Material Prep
-Generate a list of materials required for build day.
- two cups
- tape
- clothing racks
- a cover
- well i live with my sister so i made sure that we both remember to bring the materials and i put a alarm on my phone to remind me of the materials in the morning.
Build Achievements
Material Size:
(your egg is not included in the material size)
(air is ubiquitous and not included in material size. "Rare" commodities like helium are.)
-Your materials fit inside a printer paper box
- a cup is small, so it fit in the printer paper box
-Your materials fit inside a shoe box
- the cup is smaller than a shoe box, so it fit inside a shoe box as well
Drop Achievements
Drop Accuracy:
- we hit the center in the middle and than it bounce to the first line..
- the weight of the cup made it roll to the first line
-You hit the butcher paper and first line.
Egg Resilience:
-Your egg didn't break in any way! (awarded three times)
-Your egg didn't break in any way! (awarded three times)
-Your egg didn't break in any way! (awarded three times)
Communicate Results Achievements
-Create promotional materials for your design.
-Model your solution using CAD software.
-Create a multiview drawing of your CAD model.
-Dimension your multiview drawing.
Other Achievements
-Help set up the Bullseye.
-Come up with a clever name Mr. Olson uses for an existing Achievment.
-Design an Achievement Mr. Olson approves for next year's Egg Drop Challenge.
- that they use the least amount of products and that they make it more challenging
-Suggest a redesign to the activity that Mr Olson confirms he will use for next year's Egg Drop Challenge.
- let us know that we have to make a drawing or take a picture and also it was a great activity and you should keep on using this activity.
- make sure that we take a video of it for that we are able to see that falling.
