Problem Definition: What need or frustration does this product address? Who is the target user or environment? Function & Motion: What kind of motion or mechanical action will achieve the goal? Can it be simplified, automated, or made more efficient? Mechanism Exploration: Sketch at least three possible mechanisms (linkages, gears, cams, levers, etc.). How do they convert input to output motion? Design Principles: Prioritize simplicity, durability, and ease of manufacture. Consider ergonomics and safety. Innovation Angle: What makes your design different or clever? Can it combine existing mechanisms in a new way? Sketch & Annotate: Draw your concept with labels for parts and materials. Note how forces move through the system.

Prompt: Imagine a new mechanical invention that makes life easier, faster, or more fun. It should use moving parts — gears, levers, linkages, or clever mechanisms — to perform a useful or surprising action. Your Task: Draw your idea as clearly as possible. Show how it works — include arrows or labels for motion, parts, and materials. Think about what problem it solves or what experience it improves. Be inventive — mix real mechanisms with imaginative ideas. Optional Ideas to Spark Creativity: A self-folding chair A tool that can transform its shape A machine that helps with a household task in a funny or clever way A kinetic toy that moves in an unexpected pattern A wearable mechanical gadget that does something useful Goal: Create a picture that shows both creativity and mechanical logic — something that could work in real life, even if it’s futuristic or playful.
