Problem Statement
More wood is being thrown away and im planning to use this wood and make small cubes by the size of .75" in length and width. To make small puzzle cubes for children over the age of 3+.
What i did to make this happen
1.I started by measuring every cube so that all the sizes could fit correctly to each other to at least .75"
2.On my isometric paper i made example puzzle pieces to use for my final cube later on.
3.i put together at least three puzzle cubes using my example pieces.
4.Mr.wemp had us do our prototype on inventor.
5.My product was put to life and finished.

My puzzle cube was very basic it had 3 layers of blocks. This allowed me to make sure all the squares were the right color and connected to the same color square.

The block pieces you see on the top are the ones im going to be using to create the puzzle. On the bottom are the instructions to how the block will be put together.

Here is my basic puzzle cube i still need to make some improvements. This cube will replace throwing away wood to selling a fun product for children. The colors are not the best but there will be more color choices to buy later in the year.
Conclusion/Reflections
I have learned how to use the design process carefully. It has also helped me in my thinking skills because you have to think about something before doing or creating a product. My puzzle cube was very basic but i could have done better. I had several problems in inventor were i couldnt create the right size but if you think about it it gets very easy. i made my 3 to 4 block puzzle pieces before creating four puzzle pieces to use for my original product. I think this was a very good project to understand the design process .
