I require my students to create solutions to random mechanical challenges in a high school engineering course. For many students, this is their first experience with engineering, CAD, and prototyping. While it is one thing to CAD a design, it is another to bring it to life. Before students can build their final deliverable they are required to create a mock-up often from cardboard and other everyday materials, but we need the right tools for safety and for creation. The mock-up is used for students to present their ideas to their peers, myself, and a panel of engineers to help improve upon their designs. The mock-up allows students to see where their design is not only weak but strong. It allows them to interact with the materials from the get-go, but also to see if their design has validity. Adding these resources to the classroom will allow students to get the most out of their design and troubleshoot their ideas faster.
