  3. The Problem • To design and construct an educational and technology structural panel that will motivate and enhance the learning of the STEM disciplines for grades 6 to 8 • This is to be done using energy production as a vehicle while working with other systems to implement Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) • This will in turn teach children the basics of STEM and perhaps encourage them to learn more.

  4. The Customer Needs • Parents, Teachers, and School Board all agreed that this system needed to be a hands on experience for the children • School board members stated that this needed to be an affordable undertaking. No more than $1000 • The curriculum that would be incorporated into the energy production panel mainly would come from the PA Learning Standards, and then be narrowed down to the areas that teachers felt were the best to show hands on. • These areas were Solar, Water, and Mechanical Energy Production • The standards of physics found in the PA State education standard are also to be meet.

  8. Concept Screening Table 4 Concept Screening

  9. Evaluation • The standards for selecting the best options were all weighted. The criteria and their weights are as follows Table 5 Evaluation of Standards

  14. Best Designs • After being put though the design criteria, each of the 4 energy production areas produced a viable learning technique. The four options are listed below. Table 11 Best Designs

  15. System Integration • From the Water Team, we will be using water that that supply to power our water wheel. This will be done through pipes • Energy application will be using some of the power that we create for their various applications

  20. Summary • Through this project, we hope to increase the understanding of energy aspects of the STEM areas, meet and advance the state standards, increase critical thinking opportunities and create a hands on experience that keeps the interest and attention of the kids. • We have high hopes that this product will help to advance the learning of children now and further on down the road.
