Learning Objectives

Students will design a piece of furniture adapted to address a specific problem or location. Students will design a furniture model on isometric paper and transforming it into a 3d model on tinkercad, creating a scale-sized prototype, and building the final piece.  Students will use design engineering process throughout the project and will follow monetary restraints and budgets for materials.
