Early design considerations

Well, our design has some glitches. Our design isn't finalized because we are having some problems picking out the structure. Our team had some disadvantages with choosing if a Prototype should be used or not. we thaught this because we haad started with about two prototypes and then we had to choose the one that we thaught would work best.

Final design considerations

For our opinion, we think our chair will be very successful. We think this because we put a lot of effort in to our prototype and our final scaled up chair.  We put a ton of effort on actually building the chair because this was the most important part and if we had  made a mistake we would have to start all over again.

How we scaled up our prototype

We scaled our prototype by measuring Prof. Hill and then multiplying our prototype's measurement by a number that would = to about her length. We did this because if we would measure her 1st we would get a better idea of how long, how tall our chair should be.

Teamwork reflections

We thought that we worked really hard on our chair. We hope that it will be a success. We think that we worked very diligently together and that we had alot of fun in the process. This process was very long!!!! This process took us about  four or five weeks to finish our  prototype and final scaled up chair.

Improvements

We improved a lot during the last 10 to 12 days, we think this because we really focused all our energy on these few days.....

The importance of this non-profit

We think that it is important because that way we know that kids here at css have a lot of advantages and the kids we want help don't have as much advantages as we do..... so we think that maybe this can improve that.
