Deciding ● Among the criteria: ■ Ergonomic ■ Fun ■ Complexity ■ Durable ■ Meeting Requirements ■ Easy to produce ○ 4 days spent choosing final product

We finally decided on a dinosaur.

Modeling/Drawing ● Total, a week was spent modeling ■ 9 individual parts were made ■ only 4 days were needed to create drawings At least 45 emails were exchanged in the process.

Unique features Rotating wheels, The dinosaur allowing the dinosaur toy we have to be moved created has many different moveable parts including:

Moveable arms on both sides Ability to move legs forward and backward.

Group Norms Code of Conduct: ● Communication is required. If you are going to be absent or cannot complete your share of work because of other obligations it must be communicated with the group. ● Be open to ideas and be willing to share improvements to designs and discuss ideas of your own. In other words, be easy to work with. ● Complete your share of work to ensure that one person is not doing the majority of the assignment. ● Be cooperative with every group member. Standard Communication Methods: ● Easiest form of communication is email. ○ Emails (Nate, Blake, Jason): ■ nathaniel. hense@bsd 7 students. org ■ blake. foster-wagamon@bsd 7 students. org ■ yushengz@glenelg. onmicrosoft. com

Group Norms File Management Structure: ● All online files should be shared in the google drive folder entitled “Design Team Project. ” ● Any sketches that have been drawn by hand should be scanned into the google drive folder and shared with everyone. Process for making design decisions and dealing with differences of opinion: ● All ideas involving the overall design of the toy should be heard by everyone ● If there is a disagreement over some portion of the design it should be handled in a professional way with the understanding that group decisions may not include your specific idea. ● The group needs ⅔ people to agree on a decision in order to use the idea.

Design Brief Client: Craft supply and toy sellers Target Consumer: People who like to construct home craft projects Designers: Nate Hense, Jason Zhang, Blake Foster-Wagamon Problem Statement: Do-it-yourself home projects are becoming increasingly popular. People are often looking for beginner to intermediate home craft projects. In this project, you will design an original toy to be built out of wood. This toy must have at least three moving parts in the overall assembly. The majority of parts must be custom, although some off the shelf items may be utilized. Designs can be based on an existing toy, but must be significantly modified so as not to be considered a copy. The toy should be appropriate for a toddler. Design Statement: Design and model a mechanical toy that can be assembled with small brads and/or glue. Constraints: 1. Must be a free standing toy. 2. The toy needs to be made up of at least 8 unique parts. 3. May not have a footprint that exceeds 6” depth x 12” width x 10” height. 4. Must be manually operated. 5. Must have a minimum of three separate motions or moving actions once assembled. 6. Must be made of 1/8” or ¼” plywood. Pieces can be laminated together. 7. Motions should be cause/effect.

Design Brief Deliverables: 1. Presentation detailing the construction of the toy (including rendered assembly of the toy). 2. Written assembly instructions. 3. Dimensioned engineering drawings of each piece including an assembled view showing the bill of materials. 4. Completed Group norms, Gantt Chart, and Decision Matrix.
