 * Goal || Your goal is to make an engineering video based on the TV show Tool Time (because Binford Tools will be sponsering your show). ||
 * Role || Producer, actor, contractor, engineer. ||
 * Audience || Binford Tools, //Tool Time// audience, Tim Taylor, Al Borland. ||
 * Setting || Your job is to build or improve a home utilizing Trigonometry. ||
 * Presentation || You will shoot and star in a pilot video for your own engineering show sponsered by //Tool Time.// ||
 * Standards || You will be graded on two aspects: the quality of your video and the understanding of trigonometry in the construction world. You will need to produce a video that shows how Trigonometry can be used in the real world: the content of your video will demostrate your understanding. By coming up with examples in the constuction world, you are demonstrating your knowledge of Trigonometry. The second aspect of your project will be the quality of your video: in order to truely win this job from Binford, you will need to make an entertaining interview. The combination of of content and quality will ensure that Binford has another successful tool show. ||

=Introduction= Tim Taylor, Al Borland, and Binford Tools are trying to expand the //Tool Time// market to the intellectuals. Wilson, Tim's excentric neighbor, thought of a "Salute to DaVinci" on an earlier show that did not go very well (the //Tool Time// audience fell asleep in fact). Tim decided that DaVinci needed "more power" and decided to hold an open competition among the Audience in order to appeal to people in construction. You have been selected to launch //Tool// //Time//'s branch of engineering!

=Task= //Tool Time//, a popular TV show in the Detroit area, wants to branch out of the construction world and into the engineering world in order to demonstrate proper construction strategies and to lure people away from Tim Taylor's "more power" designs. You, from the //Tool Time// audience, are chosen to film a pilot of your own show that you will name, star in, and produce. Your show will be a "Salute to Trigonometry" and you will demonstrate the importance of Trigonometry in design and construction. The team that makes the best pilot episode will win the chance to produce their own TV show. Tim Taylor, Al Borland, and representatives from Binford Tools will be the judges.

=Conclusion= Congratulations! you have made your very own pilot episode. Your show has demonstrated how Trigonometry can be used to save time and money in proper home custruction and other aspects of engineering. Great Job!
