1. What is your project about? My project is about 3D printing a better golf tee because the other day I went golfing with my brother who has down syndrome and he struggled a lot with putting normal golf tee in the ground. I decided to make a better golf tee to help him and other people. Once I finished making all the dimensions and researching for the right filament my brother was ready to test it out. The golf tee was a success and he was able to put the tee in the ground pretty quick. He used the tee in his Special Olympics tournament and won first place! Then later near winter break he was able to go to the special Olympics state tournament he got second place. 1. Why did you choose this project? I chose this project because when I see someone who is in need I want to help them and I also like golfing with my brother 1. What was your result/ overall conclusion? The results were a success because he was able to put the tee in the ground faster and easier but I would have needed a better filament 1. Why is your project important? This project is important because it is improving the golf tee design and helping people have more enjoyment with playing golf and for golf to be more merciful for beginners or people that struggle with golf tees
Your Golf Tee project excels with solid research on game mechanics, materials, and 3D printing affordability, iterative design methodology featuring sketches and evolving prototypes for adjustability and durability, skillful execution through printing and range testing with timed data, creative innovation in cost-effective reusable tees to reduce setup time, and clear presentation including tables and reflective evaluations—keep engineering, young engineer!
