First Year Design Challenge

• For the car challenge: You will get the spring drive mechanism and hardware (screws, etc.)

• For the coding challenge: You will get a basic Arduino kit to use in the workshops. After you decide which project you want to do, you will get specific material to complete it.

• For the bridge challenge: Nothing! Come to the workshop for access to design software and information about 3D printing in the Maker Space

• For the car challenge: You design and then 3D Print in the Maker Space all parts to complete the car.

• For the coding challenge: You will be given everything you need to complete your project.

• For the bridge challenge: You will be given everything you need to complete your project.

For the car challenge: A point system will decide the winner based on:

• How far your car can go

• How fast your car travels

For the coding challenge:

• How well it works/efficiency of code

• Complexity of sensor integration

• How well the sensors package can be used for the common good of society

For the bridge challenge:

• Aesthetics

• How well it performs in simulation software

• Documentation of your thought process and design iterations

• How well your 3D Printed bridge stands up to actual loads in the High Bay Structures Bay
