Design Specifications: Using 4 rolls of duct-tape and the Design Cycle, create a useful product that can help people in their environment. This is due February 10. ======

Investigate: Completely explain the problem and its relevance to your life. Create something useful in someone's environment from four rolls of duct tape. It is relevant to my life because it is a way to take a problem and stick with your plan in order to succeed.  Critically investigate the problem and evaluate information from a variety of appropriate sources. We have found several designs for duct tape hoodies, and are now working on designing our hoodie after a sewing patterns. Many patterns had too many [] [] [] [] Provide a detailed explanation of how you will test your product against the design specifications. (requirements) We will make our hoodie from the sewing pattern out of duct tape, and then test its waterproof qualities by pouring a bucket of water over the person wearing the hoodie. Design: Create a range of possible designs, and evaluate all of them against the design specifications (requirements). We wanted to originally do pants, but we decided that a jacket would be cooler. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;"> Choose the best design and evaluate it fully against the design specifications (requirements). <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">We're going to need more duct tape than we have. We need an extra 24 feet, but we can probably modify it to cut it out. Or, we can accept charitable donations. Oh, wait, we already got more duct tape. :)

Create the back to the jacket. We will make sheets of duct tape and laying them perpendicular to each other. Use black on one side and red on the other. (measures 26x17 inches) <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">2. Create 2 pieces for the front of the jacket. (measure 26x9 inches each) <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">3. Make 2 sleeve pieces (4 sheets total) (26x5 inches) <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">4. Make hood. Make 2 squares 11x7 inches and trim to the shape of a hood. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">5. Attach front pieces to back pieces. 6. Form sleeves into tubes and attach to main body. 7. Attach the 2 pieces of the hood together an d then attach said pieces to the body. 8. Add pieces of tape to hold pieces together. 9. Cut eyeholes in hood. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;"> Evaluate the plan and justify any changes to your design.

It was perfectly waterproof. Although it was VERY flamboyant, it looked pretty cool. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;"> Evaluate your performance at each stage of the design cycle and suggest improvements. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">Our planning could have gone a lot better, and we could have accounted for mistakes that we make during the project. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;"> Completely explain how sticking to a task impacts your life and environment. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">Sticking to a tasks helps you succeed with things easily and early.
