FLL Project “Into Orbit” Brainstem Barn September 15, 2018
#1 Think About It Read and know the challenge problem… Identify a physical or social problem faced by humans during long duration space exploration.
#1 Think About It • Brainstorm early as a team. • Brainstorm with experts.
#1 Think About It • Use trips to better understand and gain knowledge about the topic. • Come up with many topics or problems to consider. Tiger Tech Examples: dirty water, hydroelectric power
#2 Identify a Problem • Determine a problem that relates to the challenge. • Narrow down topic by team voting and/or based on materials available from research
#2 Identify a Problem • Identify a problem and then uses resources to learn more. • Use research online • Invite guest speakers • Take trips to learn more • Connect online with experts • Once a problem is picked, you are ready to design a solution.
#3 Design a Solution • Solution should be innovative that completely solves the problem in a new way or improves upon another solution. • For your solution, it does not have to be a working model, but can be a prototype. Tiger Tech Examples
#3 Design a Solution • Be sure to consider: • Products existing • Cost to produce • Effectiveness of idea • Demand for idea • Next steps for implementation • Follow engineering design process.
#4 Share with Others • Share with others who could benefit from hearing your idea. • This could take place during the design phase and also for the end product. • Be sure to share: • Brainstorm process, the problem, innovative solution, design, cost effectiveness, products similar, experts you contacted, and the next steps.
#5 Present at a Tournament • Present a 5-minute prepared presentation that is live. • Set-up to take down is 5 minutes. • Can be a creative skit, song, dance, game show, parody, etc. • Be sure all members participate. • Be creative with presentation, but don’t forget about the main goal of presentation.
#5 Present at a Tournament • Teams that excel: • Tell the Judges about their sources of information • Problem analysis • Review of existing solutions • Elements that make their idea innovative • Any plans or analysis related to implementation
#5 Present at a Tournament • After presentation, judges will ask you questions about your project for 5 minutes. • Practice ahead of time for these. Tiger Tech Example • Be sure all team members are ready to answer questions. • Provide a handout for judges (picture of team, copy of poster, etc.)
Know the rubric • Research • Problem Identification • Sources • Problem Analysis • Innovative Solution • Team Solution • Innovation • Solution Development • Presentation • Sharing • Creativity • Presentation Effectiveness
