invent something to solve the problem

[armour_juliet]

im suppose to do a dnt coursework for my o' level
and im suppose to go around and interview people about the problems they are facing

eg chairs taking too much space in your house
eg shoe shop owners having a hard time to get the shoes which are placed high on the shelves
eg bathing for too long and not realising

actually i find it difficult to think of these problems myself
there's where you people can help
tell me about the problems that you are facing
and i might try to invent something to solve the problem

Thanks alot!

A solution for displaying/storing cymbals at home.

Commercially available cymbal trees from shops are on the expensive side $300-$400+, bulky. Not all shops are willing to sell them anyway.
Would be great if you could create something from easily available materials.

i want a gibson.

u could try making an all in one portable electronics repair/storage/work area.
i'd buy that from u if u made it.

 

[armour_juliet]

hey thanks guys
but i was thinking of like some simpler stuffs
:lol:

 

[RazrAsh]

well. we'll assume you're sec4/5?

ah well. try to think of a problem u face and how u'd overcome it. :lol:
that would be a lot easier, cuz you know your own abilities best yeah.

Hmm.

Perhaps you could tell us the theme of your D&T assignment. Then people can give you suggestions and a push in the right direction.

I've just finished a course which is the big brother of D&T, so I would be able to help.. if you could provide more specifics like target market, limitations on size and materials etc.

problem: i have lost many guitar picks, just cant seem to find a way to keep them from getting lost. maybe u wanna make some kind of storage or what, or some tracking device for the guitar pick, lol.

 

[RazrAsh]

simple la 80s_people. that one no problem. use chewing gum! u'll never lose a pick again! :lol:

 

[bockscar]

aaah DNT
is the theme manipulation?

 

[armour_juliet]

yes it is
manipulate can be anything
as long as it can be handled by the owner
but i still have no idea

 

[Crawldaddy]

Hmm.

See the third meaning of the word.

Hopefully this inspires you to think out of the box, in all aspects of the word.

 

[armour_juliet]

thanks
but i cant believe that its this hard to think of a problem

 

[Crawldaddy]

hmm.

maybe you need not search for a problem, but think of an existing public issue that could be solved by the means of a gadget.

Maybe it's not how you manipulate the product to solve the problem, but how you can manipulate the problem so that you can better design something to solve it.

makes sense?

 

[bockscar]

manipulation is quite difficult.

all the best...you can do it
