Design Solutions

10/25/12

This week 3M worked on several solutions to three design challenges:

A.Your new pet kitten is trapped in a ten-foot deep hole. You need a contraption to safely rescue your poor animal.

B.You are going on vacation for a month and can’t find anyone to water your plants while you’re gone. You need a device that will give your plants the right amount of water – not too much and not too little.

C.You like to read before you go to sleep, but you don’t have a bedside lamp. You need a way to turn off the light switch across the room without having to get out of bed.

Ask your student to telk you about which challenge they chose, and what their solution was.
