Original PromptDesign Challenge "Saving Barbie" bungee jumping. Students must follow the design thinking process where they will construct a harness, and bungee using 12 constarct paper, three papers clips, 3 ft masking tape, and 30 rubber bands. Needs to to have an emphathy lens where we need to where we need to Define define and the challenge needs to have time to build a harness a piece for data collection and then a reiteration of editing their design before their final test.

This resource outlines a hands-on mission to save Barbie using the Engineering Design Process (EDP) through a bungee jump scenario. It details a structured timeline of activities spanning three hours, divided into phases: Identify safety constraints, design the harness and cord, create the prototype, test drop calculations, and improve the design based on results. The mission emphasizes passenger safety, requiring analysis of the harness structure and passenger positioning. Key physical forces such as gravity, tension, elasticity, and air resistance are considered during the design process. Constraints on materials and safety measures for the drop zone are defined, while collaborative work is encouraged through brainstorming and sketching. The document concludes with a reflection section, inviting participants to analyze their learning experiences and the iterative nature of the design process.
