BE 1251: 3D Printer Math Tool for Elementary Students

Visual-Technological

Brainstormed six different math tool ideas to decide on a feasible design
Sketched the orthographic projections and created 4/12 SolidWorks files from scratch for the stencil math tools
Printed all 12 math tool stencils, tested the design with the students, and presented our invention findings to our peers

Visual-Technological

Observed how toy interactions, attention spans, and other factors could affect the universal design process
Constructed a circuit, re-soldered internal wiring, and wrote code to record toy engagement within a 20-minute music lesson
Recorded and condensed all steps of the engineering design process over the course of a semester into a lab report

Written-Spoken

Identified the processesing of a biological component into an item accessible to the public
Research and designed a multi-step process that capsaicin goes through in order to become hot sauce
Utilized SuperPro to test the process with quanitifiable values, calculate the mass conversion in each step, and generate the cost efficiency breakdown
