ADST Downhill Challenge!

Downhill Challenge

 

ADST = Applied Design and Skills Technology...

Curriculum Challenge: design and build / create something that will successfully transport a stuffie or doll down the large snow hill at our school, without it falling off or damaging the created transport model.

 

Guidelines:

·       Use any material from home from wood, recycling, …, to_____?

·       All designs must be original - created entirely by kids.

     *Not a sled from home, or one that is only slightly modified.*

·       Transport model can be any size / shape.

·       Students must be able to easily carry it after it’s assembled.

·       The stuffie must remain on the transporting model the entire way down the hill until it stops. The stuffie must be at least 30cm tall.

 ·       A tipped over model at any time down the hill is not a successful run.

·       Hint: Think about stability, rather than speed or distance.

 

Bring in ALL building materials on Tuesday, January 28rd.

Designs will be worked on at school for four, one-hour sessions.

Final test runs will be on Friday, January 31 at 12:50pm to 1:30pm.
