Design Report: EDSGN 100 Design Project 1
The Structure Team’s Mission Statement.
To design and build economically sustainable, educational, entertaining tech exhibit at ACM as part of SAIN’s tourist circuit to create interest and
generate economic activity in the south central PA and MD area.

The Design ProcessOpportunity and Problem SpaceSpecificationsBrainstorming and AnalysisSolution Examples
Summary
Appendices
The Opportunity was to design a portion of a self-sustaining circuit using educational tools based on the STEM disciplines.
South Central PA needs more money spent in their area on
tourism
Must educate the customer in STEM disciplines
Must use structures in the education process
Located near ACM as part of S.A.I.N.’s loop
From the opportunity we recognize the consumer needs and specifications.
The Customer Specifications
Safe for everyone
Is User Friendly
Easy to Setup
Software is interactive
Is visually appealing
The Engineering Specifications
In a 14’ x 14’ exhibit footprint
Have 4 computers in the exhibit
Enough K’Nex for 8 children at a time
Brainstorming: The ideas we chose.
#1 Computer Bridges #2 K’Nex Building #3 Computer Demonstration
The Exhibit Area
All computers have access to both programsTouchscreen technology
K’Nex area for building bridgesWith drawers filled with different parts
This presentation’s most important points.
