Keep Your Cool! Design Your Own Cooler Challenge

Maker Challenge Recap: Students are placed in (3 or 4 Person) teams and given the engineering challenge to design and build their own cooler. Students design a cooler and monitor the effectiveness of its ability to keep a bottle of ice water cold in comparison to a bottle of ice water left at room temperature.

	Poor 1 pts	Fair 2 pts	Good 3 pts	Excellent 4 pts
Functionality	Poor Poor functionality is the quality of operations to be suited the purpose that is performed by the cooler.	Fair Fair functionality is the quality of operations to be suited the purpose that is performed by the cooler.	Good Good functionality is the quality of operations to be suited the purpose that is performed by the cooler.	Excellent Excellent functionality is the quality of operations to be suited the purpose that is performed by the cooler.
Weight	Poor A camping cooler (Less than 10 quarts) is ideal if you are going on a camping trip by yourself for three to four days. This size will work for one or two people.	Fair A camping cooler (Less than 15 quarts) is ideal if you are going on a camping trip by yourself for three to four days. This size will work for one or two people.	Good A camping cooler (Less than 20 quarts) is ideal if you are going on a camping trip by yourself for three to four days. This size will work for one or two people.	Excellent A medium camping cooler (25-45 quarts) is ideal if you are going on a camping trip by yourself for three to four days. This size will work for one or two people.
Ease of Cleaning	Poor Easy to Clean Portable Cooler in two out of five steps Step1 : Remove panels and cooling pads. Step2: Drain water out of the air cooler. Step3: Brush out the inside of the cooler. Step 4: Soak the water tank with vinegar. Step 5: Scrub the water tank.

Portability	Poor A Portable Evaporative Cooler is capable of delivering a high level of cooling power in a highly effective way. Interestingly, it also consumes less energy while delivering unmatched cooling power. An Evaporative Cooler is a device which is also referred to by many as a swamp cooler.
