Improve The proposed changes were within the identified constraints and
were consistent with the objectives of the design.
The students sufficiently justified their proposal by discussing
how the changes would be made, why they would be
implemented, and how they would improve the initial prototype.
The group showed a high regard for the feedback they received
by explaining how these feedback helped them improve their
initial design.

Situation Background
Create a representation to summarize what you understand about the challenge problem,
including the situation presented.
Brainstorm Notes
This idea was intended to help nations that have faced extreme heat or cold. This machine will
let countries regulate their climate by allowing them to control their country's temperature
and, of course, the experience of the climate itself that they have never had before. This is
accomplished with the use of a look-a-like microwave machine installed on their roof, which
emits strong microwave waves capable of controlling and changing the temperature of their
nation. Some countries will benefit from climate change because they will be able to manage
the temperature in their country, which might have adverse effects on the population.

Final Output
This idea is particularly advantageous to nations that have suffered extreme heat or cold since
they will no longer have to deal with these kinds of weather extremes. The idea will also help
governments regulate and prevent these types of climate situations, allowing them to avoid
experiencing severe temperatures that can damage humans and endanger life and property.

Statement of the Problem

Based on your interpretation of the challenge problem, state the specific problem or need that
you want to concentrate on and solve.
Brainstorm Notes
The generator prototype is what we want to develop and use all around the world. However,
there is a difficulty that must be resolved before the prototype may be generated. Several
procedures will be required before we get at the ultimate result. The issue is that if the user
chooses the incorrect weather as an input in the weather generator, it will cool down. As a
result, it will be unable to use it for one day while it cools down. Input errors in the weather
generator will cause consumption to slow down. This issue must be addressed because it will
have an impact on the generator's effectiveness. This will also affect the sense of urgency to
whoever will use it.

Final Output
We ultimately arrived at a conclusion after all of our members pondered alternative solutions to our
situation. We decided to make a resolution as we work on creating our weather generator. Focusing on
the problem will provide a solid foundation for our progress in making our prototype a reality. As a
result, we utilize our creativity and analytical skills to solve the problem, and then we choose the best
answer for the problem.

Product Requirements
Identify the design goals. Include the desired properties and performance characteristics of
the product or solution.
Brainstorm Notes
• Satellite Design
• AI operated design idea
• Recyclable aluminum, should be lightweight
• Micro-chips
• Camera for supervision
• Control Panel
• Lock Button for emergencies
• Heat & Cold sensor to identify temperature

Final Output
The weather of all the places in the world depends on their location on planet Earth, there are
countries where they can experience all the seasons nature can possibly give like Autumn, Spring,
Summer & Winter. While there are others that has only ever witnessed a Sunny or Rainy weather, with
the help of our weather generator the possibility of experiencing all four can now exist. Other than
giving people a chance to experience winter or rain, its other goal is to help struggling nations in need
for their environment. Crops needing to be watered, the sun to take care of plants, warming people
up and so much more.

Constraints and Considerations

The limitations imposed to the whole class are indicated in the inset below. Based on these
minimum requirements and on your analysis of the given challenge problem, identify other possible
constraints in your design.
• The material composition should not be expensive. Use recycled materials as much as possible.
• The design should be similar, not too
sophisticated nor highly technical.

• May cause discord with leaders

that might use it for malicious
deeds
• The prototype has limited
coverage and can only surround
one city per use
• Possible malfunctioning with
repeated use
• Communication issues due to an
AI basis operation and may be
prone to hacking
Final Output
Creating an AI basis operative satellite to control the weather gives out a bountiful number of benefits
for the environment of our planet Earth, the main objective of this invention is to balance out and
help achieve a healthier and safer place to live on. But of course, making a masterful device can bring
its ups and downs, with possible malfunctions, trial and error, limited coverage, and learning how use
it fairly for everyone to experience its spontaneous effect to nature. Constant supervision is required
to operate this machinery because of the possible repercussions it can give if it’s not taken care of
consistently.
