Critical Design Review
Project Overview
Prototype Timeline
Wednesday 10/15/14 -
1. Final Design (labels and dimensions)
2. Materials list
3. Final design matrices
Wednesday and Thursday after school 10/15 and 10/17, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday next week 10/20, 10/21 and 10/23
Biology team test capillary action and give results to engineering team
Compost team finalize bedding experiment
Experimental design written procedures by 10/17/14
Continue refining design on structure and door
Finalize location of bolt and screws, venting holes
**Materials for structure and testing have been acquired already. We will be using PLA for our structure and we have capillary tubing from previous years in our science department. Bedding material that is being tested is coconut fiber that is already been acquired as well as nutrient agar for vibration and moisture testing.
Thursday 10/23/14
Print structure and assemble
Wednesday 10/29/14 - class - Blocked
Class wide analysis of testing chamber - incremental testing #1
Thursday 10/30/14 and Monday 11/3/14 - After School
Design changes after testing
Wednesday 11/5/14 - class
Incremental testing # 2
Thursday 11/6 - Jesse and I will take a day (PD) to work with small groups of kids
for design changes and incremental testing #3
Monday and Tuesday 11/10 and 11/11
Finalize design and presentation for Thursday and Friday
