Your mega figure design starts now!
In this module you will learn about the mega figure 3d printing project. By the end of this module you will be able to:
Explain the problem you have to solve
Explain the requirements to be successful
Create a plan based on the steps you need to complete
Set goals to accomplish the project on time
Scenario:
Scenario:
You are a designer for a toy company responsible for creating new toy figures. You've been presented with the opportunity to create the figure of your dreams and get to choose whom or whatever you want to make.
In order to effectively sell the toy, the marketing department is requiring you to have at least 2 accessories for your figure. They're saying an accessory can be anything as long as the figure can hold or wear it. When you've completed your prototype, the finance team will work with you in the process to develop a pricing model to get it ready for production!

Project deliverables:
At the end of this project you will need:
1 completed custom designed figure
2 accessories that must be able to be worn or held by the figure
Business plan
Published technical writing explaining your engineering process throughout the project
Setting goals for long projects:
Setting goals for long projects:
Big projects can be overwhelming and sometimes challenging to finish. Its easy to get burnout from spending too much time on something (even if it's spread out over a long period of time). Having a plan is an important step to stay focused and on track.
Breaking your project into smaller chunks can reduce anxiety and stress. It will help you to stay focused on your current task and less concerned about what you need to do next. This project is broken into modules to help you keep yourself on track. Each module has an estimated time attached that gives you an idea how long it should take. Some modules are shorter than a class period allowing you to do 2 modules in one day. Some are longer and will take multiple days. Make sure you use ALL the time you have in class to get the project completed. The entire project should take about 18 class periods to complete.
Using a calendar, you will outline your goals for each day. Keep in mind the amount of time we have in each class and use it to it's fullest extent.
With the calendar you have been given and the modules listed below, fill out your calendar to see when you will be able to finish the project. You will submit these dates in your exit ticket.

Published technical writing:
Published technical writing:
At the end of this project, you will write about your project using the engineering process as a framework for explaining what you did. Your writing will be published on your website and your website will include progress photos of your work. Be sure to lookout for the camera icon as you work through the modules. This indicates places where you should take a picture or screenshot of your work to use on your website later.
There may be other times during your project that make sense to photograph. Make sure you take the opportunity to capture pictures when you need, some may be impossible to get later.
