Stick+It

 Area of Interaction: Environments Significant Concept: The Design Cycle can help me complete a task. Unit Question: Why is it important to stick with it?
 * 1) **STICK IT**

=
Design Specifications: Using 4 rolls of duct-tape and the Design Cycle, create a useful product that can help people in their environment. ======

Investigate: Completely explain the problem and its relevance to your life. __ We have to make something useful in an environment. We have to come up with an idea that will aid us during the process of creating an useful product using the design cycle. It is important to "stick" with an idea since you would not abandon a project half way through. __ Critically investigate the problem and evaluate information from a variety of appropriate sources. http://ducttapefashion.com/ youtube.com http://www.ducttapeguys.com/ http://duckbrand.com/Solutions.aspx

Provide a detailed explanation of how you will test your product against the design specifications. (requirements) __ We will test this by making sure we don't go over the limit of 4 roll of duct tape. One black, one red, one yellow, and one flame shaped. Then we'll ask some other people in our class if they think it's useful or not. We also will make sure we follow the Design Cycle all the way through. __

Design: Create a range of possible designs, and evaluate all of them against the design specifications (requirements).

Brainstorming Designs



FINAL DESIGN



<span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Plan: <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Create a plan that contains a number of detailed, logical steps that describes how you will use your resources and time. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">1. Make two 4 by 10 inch strips (Black and red duct tape) <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">2. Tape them together at the end of the 4 in side. (yellow) <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">3. Tape the bottom of the wallet. (yellow) <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">4. Make the 3 folds for the tri fold wallet. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">5. Add pockets to the inside of the wallet so we can put things in there. (Red) <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Evaluate the plan and justify any changes to your design. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">*I think that we should add some velcro to it so it can stick together without falling apart.

<span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Create: <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Skillfully use appropriate techniques and equipment. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Follow your plan, justify changes in the plan, and create an appropriate product using your resources and time.

<span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Evaluate: <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Evaluate your product based on the design specifications, results of testing, and feedback from self and others. We sucessfully created a wallet without going over the limit of 4 rolls of duct tape. We also followed the Design Cycle all the way through. Then we gave the wallet to Ben Ho and asked him if this could help him in his environment. Ben thought it was very helpful and awesome at the same time. Our group also thinks that the wallets are both stylish, awesome, and useful.

Here are some pictures: <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Evaluate your performance at each stage of the design cycle and suggest improvements.
 * 1) Design: We could've came up with few more ideas that were a bit more sophisticated.
 * 2) Plan: The steps could've been more detailed with more explianation concerning the tape and position.
 * 3) Create: We could've used our materials more efficiently and not waste too much materials.
 * 4) Evaluate: We could have done this a bit better. Also with less procrastination.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Completely explain how sticking to a task impacts your life and environment.

<span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Attitude: <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">You were consistently motivated and respectful. Yes, we were quiet and always on task (says Ms. Bradfield) and we never complained about things.

<span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Unit Question: <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Why is it important to stick with it? It is important to stick with it because we would not abandon a project half way through. If we start with a project, we would go the full way and not stop mid way just because we don't like it.
