1. Identifying the problem- the problem that I was faced with is finding a it enough a small enough fan to move the car that Will be made. There are many types of fans but it comes down to the size and power.
2. Define project constraints- there aren't a lot of project constraint besides the student has to buy or make there own object and it had to be reasonable to the teacher.
3. Research and brainstorming- all of the reaserch and brainstorming that was done took place online. There were many websites that were helpful and could help the final result of the car come out better. Websites also helped me decide all of the materials that would be the best to use.
4. Development and prototyping- I am currently in the development stage and I hope to start assembling the car soon.
5. Testing, analysis- once the car is done there will be many tests that focus on the fan and if I need to make any adjustments with it. Other tests would focus on the wheels and if I need bigger or smaller ones.
6. Evaluation and presentation- once the final product is done I will show it to the class and have a little test run ready to go.
After last weeks journal entry there has been some improvements and some collecting and gathering.some of the objects that I put on the list for gathering is sandpaper, metal rods, and a fan. The sand paper is a necessity because it can trim down unnecessary wood that isn't needed and it could make the final product a more slim and aero dynamic design. The metal rods were put on the list for one reason, too hold the wheels and to act as an axle. The last object that was put on the list is the fan. The fan is no easy thing to find. I can't find the small enough fan and most powerful fan but I need to keep looking and find the ideal fan. Once these steps are completed the design process can get started.
