Challenge: Dog Washing Machine

Invent a new way to wash dogs without getting your hands dirty.

Maybe you could use:

- robots
- pull switch hoses
- flexible poles

Draw a picture and write a short paragraph of writing about it.

For example:

My dog washer has a hose with three compartments in it. One is for soap, one is for water and one holds air. There are also three buttons, one says soap, one says water and one says dryer. You push what you want and hold the trigger, and wash the spot! This is my hose.

Challenge: Bird Table

Design and custom build a bird table for any bird.

Consider:

The weight of the bird

Food storage

Shelter.

Then, once you have designed the table write a short paragraph about the table.

For example:

My table has a flat board with four poles. These poles help hold the triangular prism shaped roof up. The roof has two windows on either side, for light and shelter. On the flat board I have made a box for food storage and shelter. This is my bird table.
