Due Date: _____________

Team Name: ____________
Team Members: ______________________________________________________________________

Welcome to Headquarters 29! You are part of a restart- Earth Mission. You have been taken on to be part of
the Fuel Synthesizing Team. Your job is to create a Fuel Converter that takes solid forms of fuel (chocolate)
and turn it into liquid form. It should sustain heat and handle typical Calgary weather. For efficiency
purposes it is crucial that the fuel is melted under five minutes to ensure that Fuel Engineering Team can
extract maximum energy. Your design must be transportable, functional, and compact. Time is tight, you
have two days to design, create and test your creation.
