Problem Statement

It has been brought to our attention that the workspace environment in many middle schools is not conducive to group projects or experiments. Our goal, therefore, is to provide these students and teachers with an improved combination of tools and environment that will help facilitate hands-on learning in multiple subjects.

Existing Solution

The current situation consists of taking four desks and placing them together to form a workstation for four students. This workstation surface is usually uneven due to the varying heights and angled surfaces of the individual desks. Several teachers have expressed that not having a large level work surface is a weakness of this solution. Lack of storage for items used in experiments or projects is also a key concern among schoolteachers.

Solution Method

In addressing this problem, we will certainly take the concerns of these professionals into account. However, several other factors will influence our decisions. Aspects such as safety, mobility, and convenience are a few of the many considerations we must meet in order to provide an innovative and worthwhile product. Overall, it is important for us to explore all possibilities that lead to a solution to the proposed problem, even if it does not include the traditional approaches of the client.
