The Objective
The objective of the summative is to give each student the opportunity to demonstrate ALL the skills acquired during the course of the semester. Think of it as a product-driven "final exam" that reviews all aspects of the course, but is open book, and lasts about four weeks instead of a couple of hours.
 * This project is should exhibit an appropriate range and depth of the skills you've acquired from the course
 * This project must be completed INDIVIDUALLY
 * This project MUST be feasible and completed given the time constraints and limited resources of the lab

The Electronic Maze Controller [[image:MazeController01.png align="right"]]
You will construct a game that will challenge your dexterity. The game will consist of a box onto which a wire will be attached at each extremity. The wire itself will be twirled into a “pig tail” shape. The tighter the twirl the harder the challenge. The purpose of the game is to make it from one end to the other without touching the wire. The summative will be broken down into various sections. Each section has to be completed and submitted before moving along to the next section. The sections are the following; · AutoCAD · Design Process · Construction · Photoshop · Web site

You will receive a copy (Orthographic Projection) of the Maze Controler. The task here is to recreate an exact replica of that drawing using AutoCAD. Create a different layer for each part of the maze. The only section that can be modified is the coiled wire. You can give it any shape you want as long as it's still a fairly challenging.
 * __AutoCAD__**

Please refer back to your notes in regards to the Design Process. Do part 1 through 2c
 * __Design Process__**

This is where you will actually build you project. Remember that safety is always our number 1 priority. Marks will be given for the quality of construction (precision of cuts, assembly, sanding) and for the electronic components.
 * __Construction__**

These two parts will go hand in hand. You will now be using your skills with HTML to create a web page that will incorporate the completed Design Process. With the help of photoshop you will be able to incorporate images to the web site. For the summative, you will be allowed to use Google Site to help you with the creation of you web site. This tool will help you create a web page of professional quality.
