Description: A cross-disciplinary build shows how an engineered “creature” comes from iteration, design logic, and ethics.
Objective
Link literature, bio-inspired design, and engineering workflow.
Materials
- OSB/foam board, LEDs, small motors (optional)
- Acrylic paints, markers, cardboard
- Storyboard sheets
Procedure
1. Outline the “idea anatomy”: requirement → prototype → test → iterate.
2. Build a simple exhibit piece with labeled “organs” (power, control, structure).
3. Add a short “lab log” diary page for each iteration.
4. Present one ethical question raised by the design.
Conclusion
Complex builds emerge from small, testable steps plus reflection on impact.
