Locker Organizer Design Brief• Client:• School Superintendent

• Target Consumer:• High school students

• Designer:• Team Symmetric

• Problem Statement:• School lockers are a mess. Students can never find a pen, pencil, or calculator, and their

homework is always getting lost. Those who bring their lunch to school often find their food crushed under a sea of books and binders. Because of the clutter, it is often hard for students to close their locker doors completely.

• Design Statement:• Design a high school locker organization system that will neatly contain items commonly

used and kept in school.

• Constraints:• Design must fit within your school locker. (2 ft 10 in x 1 ft x 10 in)• Easy to install.• Must hold 20 lbs of books and binders.• No flammable materials.

ConclusionWhat forms of communication did you utilize while working with your virtual

teammate?We used the wiki spaces provided by the teachers. We used

http://www.bulldawgengineering.wikispaces.com/. We also used txting. Did you experience any conflicts with your partner, and if so, how did you resolve

them?No we worked out everything fine. What was the most challenging part of this design experience?The most difficult part of this product was coming up with a new idea for the design. How was the design process utilized through this design challenge?Through the design challenge, we came up with more ideas for our original design. Some

were chosen, some weren’t, but at then end, we had a design all of us approved. What are the advantages of working in a virtual team over working in a team

that relies solely on face-to-face contact?You can meet with different people around the world. The more people you meet, the

better the ideas you obtain.

Did you add any other constraints to your design challenge? If so, why?No, the constraints we have are the constraints for our school lockers.
