Early design considerations

Our early design was hard to make and very ugly. It was poorly built and uncomfortable for the person sitting in it.

Final prototype structure

Final design considerations

We were led to this design because our other design was poorly built and looked ugly. This design looked better and can support more weight.

How we scaled up our prototype

1. we made the measurements of every side of our prototype.
2. Then we scaled them up by six.
3. after we scaled the measurements we had an idea of how the chair would look.

Teamwork reflections

We learned that we should take initiative and get things done on time and we learned to do things as a team.It
 
 

Improvements

It could look a bit better and the notches could have been cut better.

Name of non profit organization

SAVE DARFUR

The mission of this non-profit organization

   The mission of Save Darfur is to help the people in the country of darfur andto stop the conflict happening there.

The importance of this non-profit

This is important because what is happeneing in Darfur is wrong and should be stopped. This non-profit organisation would benefit from this chair because we could send it to Darfur and a family will have a place to sit down. Also we should help them because what they are doing is for the benefit of the world and the people of Darfur
