Synopsis: How can you get critical supplies to people in need after a natural disaster? If you drop a pod of supplies, what pod materials and features will make safe and successful delivery of food and medical supplies? That’s what you will figure out as you and your classmates take on the role of mechanical engineering interns with Futura Engineering, a company that specializes in designing solutions for the world’s problems. As an intern, you will work to apply your knowledge of forces and motion to help design a pod that will deliver emergency aid packages to people in remote areas where disasters such as earthquakes, landslides, or floods have made it dangerous or impossible to deliver aid by trucks. You will design and test your pod using a digital tool called SupplyDrop, and consider different design aspects: the pod’s shell material, the type and amount of internal padding, and whether you will add additional external features like a parachute or landing legs to your pod. Your supply pod design must protect the cargo by minimizing damage to supplies, offer possibilities for reusing the pod’s shell for shelter, and be as low-cost as possible.
