My project is about using a rube goldberg maching to help those with limited mobility in their hands to dispense toothpate onto a toothbrush. I chose this project because I want to become an engineer when I grow up. My results showed that I was able to successfully complete the task. I was able to turn the machine on only 3 times. My project is important because people with limited mobility un their hands might struggle to put toothpast onto their toothbrush and a machine like mine could improve their quality of life.
Strong real-world impact helps people with limited hand mobility complete a daily task more easily.
Excellent engineering process: you tested, found failures, and redesigned to improve performance.
Next step, run more trials and report a clear success rate to show how reliable the final machine is.
