Some bags are too bulky to carry around

Students might lose things if they have to carry books and files in their hands

Do not have to waste time fitting things into bag

Bag would not be too bulky as space is better used

Students would not lose their things easily as they are able to attach the bag to their school bag

Compared to a bigger bag, our invention is less bulky.

Cheaper to buy compared to a bigger bag.

At first, we wanted to use velcro to attach our invention to the school bag but then velcro is too weak.

There was a limited number of people we know to help in our survey.

Interview Survey

This is a video of us interviewing a fellow student after letting him test our invention for a day.

Most people hate trying to stuff things into their bag.

People tend to lose things when they carry their books and files in their hands.

Therefore, our product would be useful to these people.
