"Earn This"
I've been trying to share some thoughts with the seniors this week. Mr. Tanaka's speech brilliantly captured the spirit of what I was trying to get at... Had I known this was the talk he was giving I would have adjusted my approach as "what he said" :)
"Fail Early, Fail Often..."
Mr Mueller didn't actually use those words but that was the theme. Pretty inspired to hear his thoughts align so well with our design ethos :)

2nd and 3rd Period Final!
Greetings Engineers,
Here is a final engineering design challenge to wrap the year up with a bang!
You have the next two hours to exercise your creative and technical skills on this problem.
Challenge: Many members of the CHS Senior class will be heading off to college in the fall. Once at school, bicycles will be the primary mode of transportation for most. Student housing is often cramped. How can students store their bike inside without impacting their and their roommates living space?
Design a Bicycle storage system that allows a student to keep their bike indoors without taking up major space in their living areas.
Utilize the design process we've learned this year to generate a solution to this problem.
Post the following to your online portfolio (9 points):
-Define the Problem (1pt)
-Brainstorm Solutions (1pt)
-Define Criteria and Constraints (1pts)
-Generate Sketches (3 options with labels) (1pt)
-Select an Approach: Use a Decision Matrix to justify your approach (1pt)
-Model your solution with CAD software: Post an Isometric view of your assembly and a multiview drawing. (3pts)
-Use the 4 Quadrant Feedback technique to assess your model (1pt)
