Programme: Mechanical Engineering, class of 2018

Course: MT1454

Corporate partner: Lockheed Martin

Challenge: To come up with a solution that makes public benches dry after rain

Solution: After rain you can not sit on benches. the solution is a multifunctional solution that consists of a drawer that has a scraper and can be used as an armrest for the bench

Impact: Having a solution that makes the bench dry after rain allows the bench to be used at any time

Prototypes: We built a prototype with cardboard to know what the solution will look like on the bench. Then built the solution with wood and bought a scraper. We learned that the solution must be resistant to weather factors and can be used by children and the elderly

Quotes from sponsor/partner: We must optimize it and then the final product can be marketed.
