 * Create A Design Brief:** Think of a new product that could help society and has minimal negative impacts. Write a one-page essay explaining your idea. In your essay discuss the how you feel it could be helpful, why you feel it will have minimal negative impacts, how it would work, and where it would be used in society.


 * Technology Research**: Make a list of five research questions for your design brief. These questions should address pertinent information that you will need to create your product. Using credible references (.edu, .gov, .org sites, textbooks, interviews with experts, etc.), find answers to your research questions and jot down //at least a page of notes.//


 * Rough Designs:** Make four rough design ideas for your product. Make sure you clearly depict your ideas. Draw your design on graph paper or drawing paper. //Be creative!//


 * Final Design:** Draw a professional-looking final design of your product idea. Use a drawing utensils (ruler, compass, stencils, etc.) and graph paper. Make sure to label key parts of your product.


 * Working Model:** Using model-making materials (KNEX, Legos, Balsa Wood, etc.) make a working model of your product idea. The model should represent the key aspects of your idea. It should have at least one working component.


 * Evaluation:** //Test your model.// Then, Write a one-page evaluation of your project. Is your idea feasible? What are the positive expected impacts? What are the negative expected impacts? How can the negative impacts be minimized? How could your idea be improved?

You can submit your design brief and evaluation via email. You may submit your final design via email if you have design software. Otherwise, you may submit it in person. Rough Designs must be submitted in person. The working model must be demonstrated in person.
