Structures Team Team Leader: Jonathan Piccoli Secretary: Nicholas Baker Think Tank Lead: Daniel Morehouse CAD Lead: ParthPatel 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.
Table of Contents • The Design Process • Opportunity and Problem Space • Specifications • Brainstorming and Analysis • Solution Examples • Summary • Appendices
The Opportunitywas to design aportion 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 programs Touchscreen technology K’Nex area for building bridges With drawers filled with different parts

Operational and Maintenance Issues • Computer replacement cost • Replacement parts for K’Nex • K’Nex will require sorting and cleanup daily
Cost Estimate and Expenses • Startup cost • $3000 • Operating cost • Annually $50 • Once every 4-6 years computer replacement/ upgrade $1300 • Total: 8-12 (Can be scaled up for more people) • Computers: 4 • Building: 4-8
