The Solution:
NOTE: This section is not intended to be shared with students at the outset of the project. It can be used as hints, examples or in whatever manner the instructor chooses.
There are a number of different solutions to this problem that are immediately obvious. Depending on the strength of the students involved, only parts of the template might be assigned to the group at the start of the project.
Models will likely come in all shapes and sizes. So long as the standards of the challenge are met, all bets are off. Students are encouraged to play with unique components like screw tops, press fittings, gasket seals and swing tops. A little bit of creativity will go a long way here as typical bottle designs have a lot of unused space. Students can add, remix or modify existing ideas to allow for unique applications for their designs.
