Design ProcessBy; Nate, Kyle, And Kiana
The Problem
• Money is a problem in this economy.• Teachers have to cut out things from their supplies to
afford the essentials.• One of those things are chart stands.• Pocket Charts are a fun and easy way to teach words and
literature.• But they can’t be used universally without a chart stands. • But these chart stands can range from $100 to $180 for
one.
Brainstorm
• Brainstorming is when you get together and come up with various ways to solve a problem.
• When we brainstormed we came up with a solution.• We had the idea to use 2 20 foot long ¾ long PVC pipes.• We cut them up and put the together to make a cheap,
easy chart stand.• It is a quick less than a minute process.• The base of the stand is already made and glued together.
Constraints and Criteria
• Limited time to build• Limited finances• We had to find a light weight material• The scale of the stand had to be universal
Explore Possibilities
• We could have use wood• Could have used aluminum or metal piping• Could have glued it together
Selecting a Approach
• We will select a material that is economical• Build the stand that is light weight• Design a stand that easy to build
Develop a design approach
• Chart stand is simple to make.• Must be at least 36 inches wide.• Chart stand is universal.• Easy to take apart and store.
Model or Prototype
• We made our prototype out of the standard PVC pipe that we are going to make the official models out of.
• We made the prototype red although we aren’t going to use color for the final model.
Test and Evaluate
• We tested our prototype multiple times. • It worked each time.
Refine
• We decided not to paint the models because the paint scratched off.
• We glued the base of the stand to save more time putting it together.
Create or make
• We made a final model to test the stand.
Communicate results
• We will communicate the results with the public via website.
