Toy DesignToy Design-- SimpleSimple MachinesMachines

The Mackinac Island Toy Design Company wants to develop simple mechanical

toys for 3 to 5 year olds. Of all models submitted, three will be chosen. Your team will develop one model.

You will use the 5-step Design Process for this challenge. However, for the initial Set-Up you will want to do the following.
