Factory Things

Problem: Create a desk organizer or component that classmates would be able to use to make learning from home easier. Whether it’s an organizer for a makeshift desk, an object to keep all their writing utensils in place, or something to help you stay on top of all your school tasks, the challenge is theirs to take!

Criteria: I want there to be a place where you can hold your phone or sticky notes. I want it to be able to hold 4 pencils, 1 highlighter, 1 pen, and a sharpie. I want a place where all pens of any brand can be clipped onto.
Constraints: Must be at most 4” by 4” by 4” dimensions.

Research: Standard Post-it notes are 3” by 3” by 5/16.” Standard #2 Pencils have a diameter of 7-8mm. The diameter of a highlighter is 3/4 of an inch. The width of all Iphones are around 3 inches.

Brainstorm: The sticky notes will be at the very bottom of the design. The phone will be angled on a stand so that it won't fall off. I want tubes to hold pencils so it is easy to keep organiz
