Making a Difference Design Specifications Criterion A

#1 What product have you chosen to create for this project?

I will make an actual model of a toilet. I chose this because I am more of a visual and hands on person than a sketching artist.

#2 Make a list for yourself of all the things that must be included for the product to be done well, including conditions, dimensions, materials, process and methods that are important for the BOTH designer (you) and the user. This list is your design specifications.

I will need to build a little wooden or plastic house on a plastic platform for stability, and also show the sewage system. I will need plastic boards, plastic pipes, wood, scissors, glue gun and a miniature ceramic cup. This project will need to be useful and easy to build. It also has to be effective and more useful to the people and environment than the toilets used today.

In the Ger district people work hard to live. People dig dirt holes and use them as toilets, but sooner or later they fill up and might just go into the ground water that they will later use. So I decided to make a toilet with a sewage system to prevent the excrement going into the ground water. To see if my project is successful, I will ask people including friends and siblings if they would rather use the dirt holes or the toilets. I will ask questions. For example: Do you think this idea for a toilet is useful in the Ger district? Would you use this toilet? Do you think people would like this idea?
