  1. Mimosa Public School Techno Push Challenge. The Making of our Pushcart. In a team effort we designed a pushcart based on investigations which complied with the Techno Push Challengerequirements.

  2. Our Teams. • Media – Emma, Georgia, Jasmine, Braeden, Douglas, William. • Building – Olly, Gary, Travis, Maddi, Brigette, Maggie. • Drivers and pushers – Josh, Adam, Ryan, Mia, Alex, Erin. • Marketing – Chey, Nadia, Krystie, Calvin, Amber, Jared, Lachlan.

  3. Drivers and Pushers fitness program. • 2 minutes of stretches. • 1 lap around Mimosa bottom oval. • 5 bur pies • 5 push ups. • Octopus/doge ball/ skipping. • 2 minutes of stretches again. We do our fitness program on Tuesday and Thursday. Wear sports uniform on these days.

  4. Exploring and defining the task. Our Pushcart will: • Follow the Specifications • Easy to disassemble and assemble • Have a light base • Have graphics • Be light Design brief: Our task is to design and construct a pushcart to participate in a series of performance challenges. Class teams will also produce a class fitness program, safety guidelines and promotional materials to be presented at the KDC-NRMA Techno Push Challenge event.

  5. Building the pushcart. We collected materials for the pushcart. We investigated different objects and vehicles. We learnt about all the different things to do on the day. We investigated main components, wheels, brakes, leavers and steering. Everyone made designs with LEGO and drew them. 4 groups, Construction, Media, Marketing and Drivers and Pushers. We used recycled materials except for 2 wheels. With the aid of an engineer and a carpenter we built our cart. Problems and modifications, 1 steering, 2 metal to wood, 3 brake, 4 push bar.

  6. Drivers & Pushers in training.

  7. Materials. • Recycled wheels • Metal brake on rubber wheels • Metal black axle • Dark base wooden base connection • 400mm Brake and handbrake • Old school seat • lawn mower • push bar (we modified this to use an old steel chair frame • Inner tube for self centring

  8. Learning about the pushcart. • We learned about kinetic energy which is moving energy. • Friction is caused by the brakes stopping the wheel. • Energy can be changed from one form to another.

  9. Generating and Developing Ideas. • Scientific investigations on steering, braking and levers were undertaken to inform design ideas. • We split into expert groups to investigate what was the best.

  10. Marketing. • Design and print t-shirts. • Create logos. • Design posters for use at event. • Artwork for the cart. • Set up a display for the event. • Team name and look. Chey,Nadia, Krystie, Calvin, Amber, Jared, Lachlan.

  11. Building. • Construct the pushcart. • Designers, pattern and makers. • Keep detailed notes (procedure of constructing the cart). • Paint. Olly, Gary, Travis, Maddi, Brigette, Maggie.

  12. Drivers and pushers. • Investigate safety, equipment, helmets, shin pads, etc. • Daily fitness program. • Nutrition. • Sun safety. Josh, Adam, Ryan, Mia, Alex, Erin.

  13. Media. • Photographers. • Publish and explain the procedure for making the pushcart. • Public Speaking -spokes people for the day. • Write the letters to the sponsors. Emma, Georgia, Jasmine, Braden, Douglas, William.
