Recycling S T E A M (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics) Project Project Concept - A 50% or more RECYCLED or Repurposed Design & Build "Construction" Project: Engineering classes - > Add function to your designs (such as light, structural, or movement) Architectural classes - > Add Art to your designs (such as Barkitecture, Famous Abstract Art color pallets and shape inspirations)
PROBLEM DEFINITION: Send me the following in a G-mail by the deadline above:
Your pick from the Pre-Approved projects under the "Construction" section of this website.
or
Discuss with me your idea for an alternate project and define what you plan to create and build with:
photos or images of similar projects
what type of materials you intend to build with
overall size of project to make sure we have the space to store your materials
You must get my approval before continuing to other stages of design
and
you may have to pick another project if your own idea for a design is not approved.
Make the month of SEPTEMBER your recycled materials collection month.
This is the most important step in the whole design process.
Begin with the End in Mind - This means you have to consider all the 6-steps in the Design process to have a clear understanding of what & how you intend to build your project.
SOLUTION CREATION: Send me the following in a G-mail by the deadline above:
Pictures of similar ideas from your research in the "Idea Generation" stage of design and images of art or other visuals that help inspire your designs.
2D & 3D drawings to conceptualize the development & "How-to" make & construct your design ideas.
SketchUp model
AutoCAD Construction Documents with dimensions
Specifications - Listing your materials and methods of how you intend to build your end-product/project.
These can be noted on the drawings described above.
Or, they can be stated in an accompanying Gmail or word document.
IDEA GENERATION: Send me the following in a G-mail by the deadline above:
STEAM contest - Churchill team(s) will develop a solution that tackle the waste problem and adds an Artistic element to bring attention back to the ART part of STEAM.
Can Art improve it with colors from the master artists or can it be made, sculpted, and designed based on a 2D painting?
Can we make a difference in our environment with an app?
Can we manufacture your prototype easily?
400 hours for one product is too long (Glass Dress by Nancy Judd)
TESTING & ANALYSIS: Send me the following in a G-mail by the deadline above:
Complete a prototype & analyze the design for any possible improvements, refinements, or ways to build it more efficiently.
FINAL SOLUTION OUTPUT: Send me the following in a G-mail by the deadline above:
Final product is ready for Sale or Manufacturing.
