\nYOUTH CREATIVITY, INNOVATION & SUSTAINABLE LEADERSHIP PROGRAM
\nPAPER SAILCAR EXERCISE<\/p>\n
June 4, 2012<\/p>\n
CONCEPT
\nRapid design, build and prototyping of a wheeled vehicle (out of limited materials) that is propelled by a can of compressed air.<\/p>\n
FRAMEWORK
\nWorking with simple materials to build a prototype is a technique employed in many product development cycles. This exercise focuses on the simple form and function of a wheeled vehicle, and provides only a can of compressed air to create movement.<\/p>\n
THE ASSIGNMENT
\nBuild a set of functional requirements such as number of wheels, sails, size, etc. Then render a drawn design of the proposed vehicle. Next, build the vehicle and engineer as needed within the time limit. Each team will then put their vehicle through some tests.<\/p>\n
RULES
\nMaterials include 3 sheets of 8.5\u201dx11.5\u201d cardstock, three straws, a pair of scissors and a roll of Scotch tape. Each team will also receive only one can of Duster compressed air.
\nTeams will have 15 minutes to work on the functional requirements and drawn design.
\nTeams will have 30 minutes to build and engineer their vehicle prototype.<\/p>\n
THE CHALLENGE
\nSpeed: To cross a finish line in the shortest time.
\nDistance: To cover the most longitudinal distance with x seconds of compressed air.
\nManeuver: Steer the vehicle around obstacles without falling over.<\/p>\n
VARIATIONS
\nProvide a balloon for propulsion (speed or distance challenge).
\nDesign a watercraft.
\nVehicle must carry golf ball.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
