Define the challenge, criteria and constraints
The challenge: construct a barrier to protect the egg from breaking when dropped off the 2nd floor balcony of the 700 building
no constraints or criteria
but to get as many points as possible for the achivements one has to:
make the barrier a certain size
biggest: material fits into a paper box
smallest: material fits into an altoid box
Brainstorm solutions
first:
a box with clothing to cover the egg
second:
bubble wrap,a small box and the egg inside
third:
two caps inside each other,clothing,inside the cups,than top to cover it and the egg
fourth:a bag with clothing and also bubble wrap around the egg to make it stay together and not break
Identify materials to bring in for "Build Day" (block day)
clothing racks,two plastic cups and tape and also a cover for the cups.
Achievements:
Brainstorming-Create a sketch of one possible solution. Include labels.
-Create a sketch of another possible solution. Include labels.
-Create a sketch of a third possible solution. Include labels.


Material Prep
-Generate a list of materials required for build day.
two cups
tape
clothing racks
a cover
-Document a plan to ensure materials are brought in on block day.

well i live with my sister so i made sure that we both remember to bring the materials and i put a alarm on my phone to remind me of the materials in the morning.
Build Achievements
Material Size:
(your egg is not included in the material size)
(air is ubiquitous and not included in material size. "Rare" commodities like helium are.)
-Your materials fit inside a printer paper box
a cup is small, so it fit in the printer paper box
-Your materials fit inside a shoe box
the cup is smaller than a shoe box, so it fit inside a shoe box as well
Drop Achievements
Drop Accuracy:

we hit the center in the middle and than it bounce to the first line..
the weight of the cup made it roll to the first line
-You hit the butcher paper and first line.
Egg Resilience:





When we unwrapped the egg it was still completely intact, no cracks or anything..we made itttttt yupppppppppp

make sure that we take a video of it for that we are able to see that falling

) What is the TED organization about?
the ted organization is to share information about the world like technology and things like that in the website.

2) What is the purpose of their website and how does the functionality of their site support that?

The purpose of the website is to spread new ideas and ways of thinking about technologically inclined, the entertainers and the designers. it shows lilttle videos about those subjects the videos are not that long like that people dont get bore of watching it becuase when they are to long it bores you. the new ideas that it gives you can apply them to alot of things.


3) As Engineers and Problem Solvers, which topic areas (the choices from the “Show talks related to:” section on the sidebar) are of most interest to us? Justify your answer

TECHNOLOGY – because the technology is something really important because it creates our future without us realizin. we are learning alot of new ways in our ingeniring class that will help us create some type of technology that will help develope a new thing for the future. technology also makes a object more apiling to people

DESIGN – in our ingeniring class we also care about how the design will look how the visual view will be. becuase if it doesnt have a good design the product will not look good.

SCIENCE- its also need it becuase we have to look at the science behine it and try to make it something better.

4 Michael Pawlyn Using Nature's Genius in Architecture, this video is really usefull because you use architecture and design elements in engineering and because its base in what we are learning.Eythor Bender demos human exoskeletons its not as usefull but for me it gives me ideas because we get to know the human sekeleton and how is base and how engineering has different stops as the human exoskeleton . Thomas Thwaits How I Built a Toaster -- he build a toaster from scratch and he use alot of design and this is a good video becuase it shows that we can do anytthing that we want if we have commitment.


5 This video provides the idea of creating one building that deposits its waste and on the wastes way to another building it would be turned into organic material and it will benefit the other building as well its really interesting becasue it will turn into organic material and it will not affect the earth. that way we can also save the enviorment in some way the design of this building its really interesting.
the way that everything is connected and how we can create a never ending cycle of life andalso how we can persive the worl and make it better it will be a never ending cycle.


6. i can help in multiple ways becuase this days you can help alot its not just about saying it and not doing it because you can search the web and find places and things to be frienddly to the enviorment by creating new designs and more building like this.

1) Primary Function
The primary function is to add staples into a paper or anything that you want some people use it to put things together that involves like cartboard.


2) How I Think It Works

A stapler works by using force to push a staple through the paper, then secure the pages together. It can be used for locking pages of a document together, or for tacking, when the stapler is opened up and used to staple items to a flat surface
the head and the base . Connected to the head is the magazine , which holds the staples. The head is connected to the base by a hangar , which is soldered in place. The pin at the back of the stapler allows the head to swing up and down to load staples or in some models open up completely for use.

the loading zone- The staples are loaded into the magazine so that the two points face towards the base of the stapler.
The spring -creates tension that pushes the staples toward the front of the stapler. When pressure is applied to the head of the stapler, the magazine pushes down on the paper, and a metal plate in the head of the stapler pushes the front staple down the magazine. The two points are forced into the paper, piercing the pages until they come into contact with the anvil.
There is a curved groove -in the anvil. The ends of the staple are forced into this groove, where the pressure forces them to bend. They bend inwards, creating a lock around the pages.


3) My Black Box Schema

4) Visible Mechanical Components
the two mechanical component is when you push it down and the staple comes and also when you add the staples into the stapler it pushes them to the front for when you press it down it can come out..





5) A Function That Cannot Be Identified
i dont think its hard to identified everything about the stapler becuase its a easy mechanically. the springs makes everything happen for me becuase they give it the force.

the stapler

Visual Analysis:


Rather than being flat, the form/shape- it has a the top going a lil up and the bottom flat for is easy when you have to stapler something and nothing can stand in the way for you can stapple your paper.
but staplers come in different sizes and shapes for easy to carry and take any were
The texture- its not that soft it doesnt even look like its soft i think it was designed to look and feel a little hard its also heavy not alot buts just enough
The emphasis- on both ends were design not to look at like becuase the back its insome way close but the front is open for you can put the paper and stapple it
color- its a black solid color but the stapler comes in different colors like red and blue and much more.
Functional Analysis:

The target audience it will be for students and teachers and also offices and businesses becuase its used to put papers together and for you keep your stuff in one place and not have it all over the place. it also can relate to people that like to be orgonased. this product can relate to alot of people and not just one type of people
every organize person needs it

its for anyone but its for those who want to keep things in just one place and to keep it organize. its also for students for they can staple there stuff and just keep it organize for they can go back and look at it when there is ab test

the stapler its easy to use becuase it was design to be easy to manage and the only thing you have to do is just press it down and have a paper in the top of the bottom surfice and just push it down and its done. its also easy to add the staples when you run out of them its also affordable for anyone can buy it. i also think that becuase they can come in different sizes and colors is more apealing to the people becuase they can choice from so many colors and the size of the stapler they want.

how to use a stapler

What themes from this speech resonate with our class? the theme that relates to our class is that we need more enginers because we are being left behine and other countrys are improving more then us. it also says that enginering is the next big thing that if we are looking for a career that we should start thinking about enginering becuase its something that will keep growing. i agree with him because its true i know we also need math and science but enginers are the ones that make our country better we dont really have people improving our country.

What technology sector did the president compare to the space program of the 60's? What is the comparison? he compered with space rise
and with studies that our nation is going through and tthe things that he is comparing is the the alternative energy and ways of improving thing making them better and also better for our economy.

What is the name of the new program that will replace No Child Left Behind? How do the programs compare?rase to the top is saying that no kid will not have the posibilitys to go to school because they have not money and things like that. i think is comparing that he wants all the kids to go to school becuase we are getting behine like in china they are really into the studys there students are really prepere and he wants us to also be prepere and not let anything stop us from being the best that we can be

Last semester we talked about the trapped coal miners in Chile. Why did the president conclude his speech with an example relating to that? i think he spoke about them becuase he is saying just like they were strong to survive we can also be strong american and fix everything that we are through because this times are not easy for no one but if they were strong to survive we can also be strong.

What's interesting about the President's chief speechwriter? What do you hope to be doing 10 years from now?i think his job involves hard work and its also really interesting becuase he gets to work for the president he gets to listend to everything that he is saying hand to hand its not like us that we watch it in the tv. i see myslf also working in the medical field just like my sister we are planing to study almost the same thing but in alot of ways is our dream to be in the medical field is somethng that have always intest us.

Has this speech inspired you and if so how? it inspire me to be something in my life and to keep my dreams a life because he seems that he cares about the future of all of us he also seems that he cares were we in life and that he wants us to become something and to become better americans
