How Might You Solve This Challenge

Do you have what it takes?

Imagining, Designing, Creating• All these things are essential when solving

problems.• In this Deep Dive, you will be tasked with using

your imagination, designing and creating all kinds of solutions for simple to complex challenges.

• Repurposing items is TASK #1.• For example: – Might you be able to compile the longest list defining

the possible uses of a sharpened pencil?

The Design Process• Designing is not a linear process.(doesn’t go in the

same order each time.)• It is a structure for thinking and doing.

Design Process for any Challenge.

• When you design and make something, you do not think and act in separate, sequential steps.

• Rather, you complete activities that logically lead to additional activities--sometimes they occur in the order and sometimes they occur more randomly, but in almost all cases, all of the activities occur during the engineering design process.
