This week at IRE the options document was due. The options document is where all the design ideas are collected and recommendations are made for which design to move forward with. The Children’s Occupational Therapy group came up with the options for the team’s Chippy Tree and Troll Bridge. The Chippy Tree is a tree that children will be able to throw balls or bean bags at. The tree will have a few knots, or holes in it that the children will aim for. When a child gets the ball in the hole there will be lights or sounds celebrating their good throw. The troll bridge is an adjustable height stairway for children to learn to walk up stairs. There was a lot of research that went into finding good options for these projects and the team is looking forward to the experiment phase and the final building of each of the projects. The team would like to thank Banner Engineering for their well-documented guide that is published online. It was very useful in researching the sensors that the Chippy Tree will need. The team would also like to thank Smith Williams Studios and Gilly Arts for allowing us to work with them on these projects.
