All Current and Past Solutions

Solution #1How well does it work?Why is it not perfect?

(Pros and Cons)

Solution #2How well does it

work?Why is it not perfect?

(Pros and Cons)

Solution #ETC.How well does it

work?Why is it not perfect?

(Pros and Cons)

Option 1 – Improve an existing solutionOption 2 – Combine one or more solutions to increase the overall

success rate Option 3 – Invent a new or unique solution

NOTE: A project can be started here as long as justification for the solution’s existence can be supported. (Reverse Engineering)

Handout #1

Justify the merit for attempting your solution and Create a prototype of your idea

Define and Create an accurate means of testing the prototype, simulation, process, mock-up or plan

Evaluate the DATA

Significant Improvement? Little or No Difference? Failure

Present your findings and make a judgment on what to do with the results

Do you think of volcanoes when you think of science fair? Well think again. The finalists at the Intel ISEF presented some of the most interesting inventions ever from a bionic arm to a low cost solar refrigerator.

EDD Projects entered in the Engineering Division of the local Science Fair… 7 “First Places”, 1- Overall winner that went on to place fourth inthe INTEL International Science Fair
