Project to complete - Shoe Design 101 @http://www.scire.com/sds/Pages/design.html



The website is to be used to research how to design a shoe for your sport. You will create a new sport that requires the use of a new piece of equipment, which utilizes at least one simple machine. Then… You will create an ‘ideal’ shoe that will maximize an athlete’s efficiency and performance while playing the new sport that was developed in the //Machines are Marvelous// task. You need to be able to explain the function of your shoe based on its design and composition. Then, justify why you chose your design, using the scientific principles you learned from the website. You may present your “prototype” using a multimedia presentation, podcast, poster, model, or brochure.
