Design
All designs must be original - not copied from an existing design.
When designing, team members must not receive input or advice from anyone other than their team members. Team members may discuss their design with a teacher. During discussions, teachers must not offer direct advice. In order to challenge students to think carefully about their design, teachers may, however, ask questions such as:
- Why did you design the wheels like that?
- Did you have any other ideas for the shape of the sail?
Design Plans are to be presented on A3 paper and must show:
- measurements
- materials to be used
- connectives (how the materials will be connected together
- uop view, side view and front view
Accompanying their Design Plans, teams are to include paragraphs that describe:
- Why particular design elements were included
- Prediction of how far the yacht will travel on Race Day
