In this episode of
Design Squad the teams are presented with a challenge to create a better peanut butter making machine for a community in the poverty stricken country of Haiti. When they first learn about the challenge the teams are shown a short video of how peanut butter is made in Haiti. You will see that these Haitians live in very primitive and limited conditions. The teams are then given certain criteria that they must understand for creating their final project - their device must use only manual power - no electricity, and be made with parts that can easily be replaced and repaired in Haiti.
As you
watch the video you'll see the challenges and difficulties that each team has in their process. You should start to recognize the steps of the Engineering Design Process as you follow along. Keep that in mind because after watching this video you will being completing a short project using the video and the
Engineering Design Process!
