When we were given the task of designing a piece on Sketch Up that could improve the classroom, I was nervous. But, once we choose what to do, i was excited. There were possible challenges when creating a hook to hold the grabber in the classroom. One possible challenge was preventing the hook from not balancing because it had to stay on the board. Another challenge or a possibility was the question: How should this hook hold the grabber? The answer was not immediate but after 5 different designs we settled on one. The double sided hook to solve the balance problem and the bump up in the grabber allowed for the design to hold the grabber inside it’s handle.

The overall process was fun and a learning experience. Its a cool thing to think about; that there is a chance something I helped design could actually be used.

Here is our design:
