In the spring, eighth graders in Creators’ Class are challenged to design and make a flashlight that is sustainable, ergonomic and aesthetically pleasing. While the task may appear straightforward, it offers students the opportunity to apply a wide range of skills and knowledge from CAD and CAM, to understanding the purpose of electronic components. Building a flashlight that is functional and useful are big factors too for success—not to mention designing an eye-catching flashlight that a customer would want to buy!
