Design Discovery 2019: Lounge Device Project
This project challenges campers to work in groups to create a cardboard lounge table device. Each team will be given multiple sheets of cardboard.
Before you make the finished device, each team will produce three 1/4-sized study models and one full-size connection detail.
By working through this process of design, the devices will be more thoughtful and coherent at the end of the project.
The cardboard lounge table device must support at least one person from the team as well as perform one other task determined by the group.
