Designing Three-Dimensional Cube for Moon Golf Ball
In the spatial thinking and communicating class, students engage in activities like drawing boxes in one-point perspective and brainstorming a design for a cube to hold the historic golf ball hit on the moon. The design challenge involves creating a cube with specific requirements and criteria, using materials like corrugated cardboard. The process includes ideating, creating physical prototypes, digital models, technical sketches, and detailed reports. The goal is to develop a creative and functional casing that showcases craftsmanship and proportional accuracy.

IAT 106 Spatial Thinking and Communicating Fall 2020
Class Exercise: Drawing Boxes in One Point Perspective Time: 5 minutes Reproduce the following circle: including HL (horizon line) Draw as many boxes as you can within the circle using the same VP. Try drawing them with different sizes and from different views e.g. worm s eye. Use your eraser to remove any perspective lines (prevents confusion!) M1.2
Class Exercise: Drawing Boxes in One Point Perspective Sketch circle: & horizon line Sketch several boxes using the same VP.(center of circle) M1.3
Design Scenario: As a group, brainstorm (develop preliminary sketches of) a three-dimensional cube that can hold the much famous; first golf ball that was hit on the moon by Alan Shepard (first man in space) four decades ago. The ball has miraculously landed on Earth quite recently and you as a team are asked to design a fabulous casing for it. Design Requirement: 1. The final designmust be a cube of a size 120mm x 120mm x 120mm. 2. Should be taken apart into two halves. The two halves can be of different sizes. 3. The golf ball is 42.7mm diameter, you can round it off to 43mm including the tolerance. The placement of the ball does not have to be central. 4. The two halves should lock with each other, such that when the cube is held in hands and rotated around 360 degrees, it should not let the ball drop. 5. The final cube must have at least one of its internal surfaces an inclined surface. 6. The material given to develop this design will be single corrugated cardboard sheet. Marking Criteria: The final casing will be marked based on the creative design, workmanship and the proportional accuracy. The final case can be anything EXCEPT a box with a lid.
