THE DESIGN PROBLEM AND DESIGN BRIEF
 

You are to design and make a toy based on a cam mechanism.
All pupils will make the basic mechanism (see below) and add to the design.

The character (in this case, a duck) is an example only. You may consider using an existing character or one that is completely your own design.

 
 
 
 
 
INITIAL RESEARCH
 
You are to start by carrying out research into the character, that you could adopt and use. One way of doing this is to look at existing characters (see below).
 
 
An alternative is to create your own images / characters (see below).
 
 
 
 

Present your images / your own drawings using the design template ‘CAM MECHANISM - PROJECT - INTRODUCTION’

HOW TO PRESENT YOUR IDEAS
 

The next stage is to start designing the cam toy and the way the cam mechanism interacts with the images. Use the template CAM MECHANISM - IDEAS - SHEET.

The example below, shows how each idea can be set out and the type of notes supporting your design idea.

 
 
 
 

A sample ideas sheet is shown below, with one idea shown completed.
