  2. 2.0 Design Challenge Overview: • This challenge is divided into two parts: • 1) Toy Concept Development • 2) ‘Duke Toy Fair’ Marketing Presentation • 2.1 Toy Concept Development • Working in teams, your design challenge is to create and document a McDonald’s • Happy Meal toy that is fun, economical, and safe. • Development requirements include: • Toys must include at least three plastic pieces • Parts must be designed to accommodate standard injection-molding principles • Team must show evidence that toy is designed for efficient mass-production • through 3D CAD modeling and basic tolerance analyses methods • To prevent a choking hazard, each easily-separable part must be large enough to not fully fit within a 1.25” internal diameter cylinder which has a slanted bottom varying in depth between 1.00 and 2.25 inches. (A “test cylinder” meeting these specifications will be available in lab for your inspection; also see attached drawing) • All unassembled parts together must be able to fit within a ~5” x 5” x 5” cube • Each team-member is expected to fully design and document at least one part each • Other parts may be added so long as any separate pieces meet choking hazard rqmt

  3. 2.2 ‘Duke Toy Fair’ Marketing Presentation • Toy design concepts must be presented at the ‘Duke Toy Fair’ scheduled forMonday October 21st • Each team is expected to create and display their toy concept at their individual Toy Fair booth • Each team will sign up for a five-minute presentation slot where the teaching team will visit their booth – all team-members are expected to be in attendance for this presentation • At least one team-member must staff the team Toy Fair booth throughout the fair • Team-members not staffing the team booth are encouraged to circulate to view other toys at the fair
