Dr Ho gave everyone a brief rundown of what MnT entails.

• Roles and Responsibilities

Each group will have a Leader, Finance and Procurement, Secretarial Support and Records, Communications and Planning and Safety Officer.

• Assessment/Submission/Prizes

Rubrics include originality, clever use of science, effort, craftsmanship and functionality.

Prizes are awarded for Best Project, Most Innovative Idea and Best Design and Craftsmanship.

• Available Equipment

Any mechanical and electronic equipment available in the MnT lab and 3D printers.

• Budget

Total budget amounts up to $2000. Small purchases under $100 can be bought without much discretion. Larger purchases above $100 should seek approval from Profs or Tony before purchasing.

• Safety and Risk Assessment

Watch safety videos, complete safety quiz and submit individual risk assessments before work can be done in the lab.

• Additional general pointers

Project does not need to have any practical value, expect to include 3D printed parts and be prepared to extend the project should shipment issues arise.
