EYE LEGO Engineering Design Challenge: Animal Aid

Challenge: Just like humans sometimes have injuries that require them to use things like wheelchairs and walkers, animals can get injuries like that too. Build an animal with an injury, and come up with a device that will help its injury heal and allow the animal to continue to live in the wild. 

Engineering Goals:

• Learn to design for a unique client (animal)
• Design with specific constraints (the solution has to allow the animal to stay in its natural habitat)

Leader Instructions/Tips:

• Show students examples of real animals that have needed engineers to help them:
  • Winter the dolphin 
  • Turtle with LEGO Wheelchair 
  • Small Dog Wheelchairs 
  • Animals who got 3D printed solutions
