Testing and Redesigning

Today, we established criteria by which to test our cars. Mr. Smith helped us think about some of the criteria. We also searched on line for other edible car competetion and the criteria they used. We then tested our cars and entered the data in a spreadsheet. We made conclusions based on this data. Finally we made one final design plan and shopping list for our final time together.

Ladies, please add your shopping list in the comments section.

St. Albans Tech Savvy Girls Create Edible Cars

St. Albans Tech Savvy Girls kicked off their Winter Session by experimenting with various foods in the making of EDIBLE CARS. This was the first of an 9 week series called The Creative Side of Engineering. Mr. Blair Smith gave the girls an introduction to design and engineering, while Ms. deLaBruere described the contribution women can make to the engineering page.
The girls went to town with their first attempt at designing an edible car. Each girl presented their car, giving it a unique name, while their peers recorded audio, video, and images of the presentation. Check out our slideshow from this exciting TechSavvy Girls Sessions.

During the upcoming week, the girls will examine edible materials that they would like to use for their 2nd draft of their car.
