Problem Statement

We were asked to brainstorm a design for a cardboard chair. We have to select three or more of the designs and make orthographic sketches of each. We also have to Build scale models of each of the three designs using index cards. Select the best design and build a scale prototype using cardboard, the scale will be 2” = 1’.Last we have to complete a drawing using any software like paint, google sketchup, etc. Then we have to make a brochure about the chair. We use our Blog web site to post our progress each week. Build a full size prototype of your design that will be tested by Ms. Nguyen after she considers is safe. We have to do power point presentation to explain what we did, how we did it and what things we learned. When done with everything we turn it in a Design Portfolio with daily entries about our progress, design notes, sketches of work, research, etc.
