You have five minutes to read through the description and then we will discuss it, break into groups and start the challenge.

11. The Challenge
In this activity your team will quickly design the solution to a problem using a design process that progresses from brainstorming to presenting a final design.
In a team of three or four, using only the materials provided, design and build a device or vehicle to move a small figure (Block) as far as possible across the room on the cable.
A team member may initiate the motion of the vehicle or device but may not provide forward momentum.

12. Team Roles Leader Recorder Maintenance worker Time Keeper
All team members contribute to the final product in addition to the defined roles
Leader
In charge of keeping the team on task
Recorder
Record ideas
Maintenance worker
Coordinates Collecting Materials
Coordinates Putting materials away
Time Keeper
Keeps the team on track for finishing on time

13. Materials Any 15 non-electric parts from your LEGO kit
Three rubber bands
Four popsicle sticks
6” of masking tape
Small Block to transport (You may decorate this block)

Part penalty for assembly.
Do not start yet.
Brainstorm (5 minutes).
Assign a recorder for your group.
As a team, brainstorm as many ideas for your device/vehicle as possible as the recorder documents your ideas.
You may handle and inspect the materials, but you may not alter or connect any of the materials in any way during this phase. Select one of your sketched ideas to pursue.
Build (10 minutes). Build your device. Make changes to your original ideas as necessary.
Test (1 minute). Each team will have one minute to test their device on the cable.
Redesign (5 minutes). Make revisions to your device based on the results of your testing.
Present. Each team will take a turn attempting to send their vehicle across the room on the cable. The distance traveled will be recorded.
Reflect: Answer and turn in the questions on the Worksheet.(3+ complete sentences for each question)

15. Grading Creativity: Teamwork: Performance:
Up to 5 points for creativity in the design and use of materials
Teamwork:
Up to 5 points for how well your team works together
Performance:
0.5 point for each foot that the device moves along the cable

18. 2D Sketching
Be neat. Use a straight edge for clean lines. You can use light ‘construction lines and points’ to help locate where to place lines as needed.
Grid is in ¼” squares
Coordinates are given relative to the previous point.
Start at the bottom left (Datum Point)
X+1 right one
X-1 left one
Y+1 up one
Y-1 down one
Label each point (1, 2, 3, …)
Connect Points
