ITSY BITSY WHEEL SPIDER

Design Nature is a class taken by every first year student at Olin College. The goal of the class is to learn about design using nature as inspiration. There are two projects in the course that introduce the topic of engineering and design.

For the second project, we had to create a toy inspired by an animal in nature for under $50. This toy was required to transport an item in its surroundings and was graded by 4th and 5th graders from a local elementary school. My team created a walking and rolling toy we called Itsy Bitsy Wheel Spider. Below is a video of the toy.
