How Can We Help?
Cord Mess
Estimated Time: Eight 45-minute class periods
Project Summary: Students find a solution (developing a product or process) to the problem of tangled up electronic device cords. Students work through the problem in teams to come up with what they think is the “best” solution while working within the confines of time and materials that are available.
Driving Question (Teacher Guided, Student Constructed): How can we design a low-cost, easy-to-make, marketable product to solve the problem of cord mess?
