This lesson is meant to show ways of easily figuring out first design and simple tolerances for basic items with cardboard instead of using 3D printing or other time consuming digital fabrication processes. This process is more responsible, and more efficient. Each model will take no more than one class period to finish and the materials can be found in a recycling receptacle. In the process, makers see how changing a material's shape affects its strength and experiment with how supports reinforce a structure. Students also conduct a peer review of the prototypes and, following the design process, revise, test, and improve their designs. In response to a design challenge, makers will choose if they are going to build: (a) A visual prototype - one that looks like their solution; or (b) A working prototype - one that works like their solution (it may also look like their solution). For example, if their solution is something that filters plastic pieces from sand, then students might want to develop a prototype that works like the solution. If their solution is too large to build at scale, then they might want a prototype that looks like their solution.
