Some students working with a partner may be choosing to make their own product, but working with someone to receive support from a fellow classmate during the process. Others are working with a partner to produce one item. Ms. D&#8217;s permit office will provide you with permission for whichever you decide to do.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Create a draft plan of a product:<\/strong> Using the ADST design cycle, brainstorm ideas, then narrow it down to one product. Draw a picture in your journal of the product, and list the potential supplies needed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Get a patent at the Patent Office:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Ms. D will provide patents and product approval to students as they report to the Patent Office.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Receive $100 Start Up Money, Set Up Budget:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Each student receives $100 in start up funds from the bank. They will keep track of their spending in their journal or in Excel (may be easier in a journal, as we don&#8217;t always have a computer available during building time.)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Purchase Supplies:<\/strong> Go to Ms. D&#8217;s store, and she will provide you with supplies at a cost. Menu of costs is on the whiteboard. Please do not buy new things for this project. If you bring crafty items or recyclables from home, please show them to Ms. D for price determination. Using scissors, markers, pencils, glue sticks you own, and storage boxes is free. Hot glue guns, tacky glue, hole punches, and special cutters can be rented for a flat fee on the menu board.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make a prototype:\u00a0<\/strong>Build a prototype, show it to peers, and receive feedback. Also, get it approved by the patent office. Make adjustments if needed, as per the ADST design cycle.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make more product!<\/strong>\u00a0 Start mass production so you can sell it at MACC MALL.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Advertising and Packaging:<\/strong>\u00a0 You will need some ads to help sell your product, and you may want something for your display. Creating these comes out of your budget. Set a price that is a whole number under $10.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sell your items at MACC MALL:<\/strong>\u00a0 We will have multiple classes come through. They will receive 10 tickets each, and each ticket represents $1.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Did you make a profit?<\/strong>\u00a0 Similar to Cookie Mining, did you make a profit?<\/li>\n<li><strong>REFLECT:<\/strong>\u00a0 After the process, write an eport entry to reflect, and Ms. D will respond with assessment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>CRITERIA &#8212; Students will be able to:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use communication skills with the Patent\/Building Permit Offices, fellow MACC Mall Participants, Ms. D&#8217;s Store, and their partners successfully to get their needs met.<\/li>\n<li>Apply the ADST design cycle, which includes brainstorming\/ideating, prototyping\/creating, and adjusting ideas as needed before you get to the final product.<\/li>\n<li>Keep an organized budget and make independent decisions successfully to not go beyond their $100 start up and to try and make a profit.<\/li>\n<li>Apply financial literacy and math skills in that budget successfully.<\/li>\n<li>Use creative and critical thinking skills to think about their potential audience of consumers and to create a product that appeals to that audience.<\/li>\n<li>Communicate about their product using visual media of their choice and writing conventions effectively.<\/li>\n<li>Reflect on the experience, relating MACC Mall to our understanding about how humans use a variety of tools and systems to get their needs and wants met.<\/li>\n<li>Participate in MACC Mall independently without production help from home, finishing the majority of construction in the classroom so Ms. D can comment and help with the process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>WHEN IS THE PRODUCT DUE:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We will try to finish the products by <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>end of May<\/em><\/span>, but Ms. D will also monitor production and set an appropriate date for MACC Mall with classes when we are closer to completion.
