My project is about creating something that will help beginner skaters learn new tricks. I chose this project to help people learn to ride a skateboard and land tricks. Out of 3 prototypes, 2 (rubber strip and layers of rubber strip) worked really well, but the best was the full layers of rubber strip. This project could impact society, especially people who love staking.
Clear, meaningful goal: safer practice and helping beginner skaters learn tricks.
Great job testing multiple prototypes and comparing which worked best.
You did a great job identifying a real-world problem and designing multiple solutions to test! I was impressed by how you created three different prototypes and carefully compared their durability, size, and performance. Your use of testing and scoring to determine the best design shows strong engineering thinking. I especially liked how you reflected on what worked, what didn’t, and how you could improve your design in the future. Keep building, testing, and improving, that’s exactly what engineers do. Excellent work!
An impressive engineering-focused project that addressed a real challenge faced by beginner skateboarders. Testing three different prototypes showed careful planning and evaluation. The identification of the most effective design demonstrated clear analysis and understanding of functionality. This solution has strong potential to positively impact new skaters.
Well, done Champ,
