GATHER INFORMATION THROUGH INTERVIEWS AND OBSERVATIONS-EACH TEAM INTERVIEWED THEIR PEERS AND TEACHERS TO GET IDEAS FOR POTENTIAL SOLVABLE PROBLEMS WITH A GADGET-INVENTION.

ONCE THE PROBLEM IS IDENTIFIED, NARROW IT DOWN AND BE SPECIFIC.

IDEATING INITIALLY INDEPENDENTLY. THEN, SHARED AND COMBINED/DECIDED ON THE POTENTIAL SOLUTION TO MOVE FORWARD WITH. THEY HAD TO DRAW A DESIGN OF THEIR PLAN AND THINK OF MATERIALS AND ANY CIRCUITS, WIFI REMOTES, OR MICRO-CONTROLLERS THEY WOULD USE.

TEAMS USED RECYCLABLE MATERIALS, ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS AND COULD FABRICATE (3DPRINT OR DIGITAL CUTTER OR SEWING) PARTS TO

TEAMS PUT THEIR PROTOTYPE TO THE TEST IN USING IT WITHIN THE SCHOOL BUILDING, MAKING OBSERVATIONS AND GETTING FEEDBACK TO OPTIMIZE AND REITERATE.

This team is on their 2nd iteration of the school map and are planning out the circuit design that will be underneath the map. The circuit will be created with copper tape, conductive fabric and LEDs.

Each team talked to their peers and teachers and brainstormed a list of ideas from those conversations. Emma and Annies- (developers of the Hallway Regulator)

ideating by drawing, listing, labeling, diagramming their ideas first.

Working together to sketch their ideas of the design of the shh-er to include the circuits, type/function and how it'll be built into the design.

These two girls create a remote using the wireless transmitter and receiver to activate the light circuit on the shhh-er. Here they are measuring to design their very first 3D print- a case for the wireless remote.

Emma and Annie demonstrate their gadget. The feedback and observations showed that their idea wasn't very successful so they are

A work in progress by Emma and Annie- they are integrated an LED Matrix sign into their gadget and will need to learn to code it in order for a customized message to appear.
