Team 3: The CORDinator By: Lindsey Estrada, Taka Kuwabara, Selina Sirosh, and Dale Solomon

Goal: To create a product that allows users to neatly organize their electrical cords while plugged into a power strip. With the CORDinator, the user can wrap their cords around two posts on each outlet to prevent tangling and mixing up with other cords. 1.) Idea Sketch 2.) Existing Similar Product Disassembly 3.)

THE ULTIMATE CHARGING BRACELET

Vision: We are all extremely busy in everyday life and our phones often run out of battery faster than is desirable. When a phone is new, the battery can last for 8-10 hours without issue, but as the phone ages and has to store more data, apps, music, etc. the phone loses its ability to hold a steady charge. Our project aims to help with this everyday issue by creating a product that does not have to be placed in a bag or pocket that can easily charge your phone. Our group created Stem; a portable charger placed within a bracelet.

AMK GLASSES

As Team 6, we wanted to take the use of eyeglasses to a different level and make it completely customized for the customer’s choices. In order achieve this, we made sketches to figure out which dimensions we can play with. Then made the CAD designs and FINALLY: 3D printed !

TEAM 6 CUSTOM MADE GLASSES

Why a Bed Desk? When thinking about possible ways to

create new or improve existing ideas, we had a strong desire to make a product

that we would ultimately be able to use ourselves. In the future, we plan to

market our product to friends, classmates, startup companies., and university housing around the world.

That is why we researched, designed, and built a fully functioning prototype of a

Bed Desk.

The Bed Desk is a much needed product within the college atmosphere. College students are often camped for room in their Twin XL beds. We hope the bed desk will alleviate clutter on college

students’ beds, maximizing their sleeping space.

From Beginning to End At first, we did not know where our idea was going to take us or how the final result would turn out. However, after much deliberation, trials, SolidWorks models (shown above), and research; we have finally completed our prototype and are sure it is going to be a hit!
