Cardboard Stool Project
For this project, each group had to build a stool using only cardboard and duct tape. For the final test, the stool had to be able to hold one of the school's principals.
The Design Process
1) We started with the problem and how to approach the project.
2) We thought about triangles as our base. 3) We went with the design of only making the stool out of triangles. 4) We started with an inner section and made triangular prisms. We then put it all in a bigger prism like a shell. 5) We tested the seat and went back to the drawing board because it was unstable in several places. 6) After putting in additional supports, our stool was sturdy and we painted it. |
