Is there something that annoys you and you wish you could make it better? Or maybe something needs to be invented to help you solve a problem?
Engineering is about making lives EASIER! Ideally, we would like students to be solving real problems, for real people, in STEM. In order to do that, we need problems to solve! Please submit your idea below and keep them coming. |
Client Name: Mrs. Howell
How can we contact you: [email protected] Describe the problem you are having: For safety reasons, classroom doors should be locked at all times. However, students get stuck in the hallway when they try to go to the bathroom. It interrupts instruction when someone has to go let them back in. I wish there was a device we could put over the latch of the door that could allow students to go in and out of the classroom, but could be easily removed in case of an emergency so the door is immediately locked. Criteria for a successful design: Door must be able to open and close. Must be easy to remove in 3 seconds or less. Constraints: We need this device for all classroom doors (roughly 100 total) so it must be cheap and able to make in bulk. |
