Students put creativity to test with cardboard challenge
On Friday, Sept. 10, students in the materials and manufacturing process in product design elective, instructed by Jared Arp, put their creativity to the test during a timed and constrained design workshop called the cardboard challenge.
In teams of three, students supplied their own cardboard and were provided one roll of masking tape. Given a time limit of 45 minutes, each team had to design and build a functional chair. Testing for a completed, successful chair included having each team member sit in three different positions, sitting with both feet on the ground, sitting cross-legged & reclined, as well as sitting criss-cross applesauce.
