SITUATIONS

1. My father’s garage contains a lot of cutting tools. There is no proper place to store
them. As a result, my youngest cousin who likes to play in there might hurt himself. A
proper storage unit can be the solution to my problem.

2. My earphones and mobile phone charger get broken I my bag all the time. There is no
proper way to carry them while travelling. A protective case can be the solution to my
problem.

3. My uncle needs a way to promote his new cake selling business. There is no correct
method of displaying the cakes in an outside environment without them getting stolen or
spoiled. A display unit can be the solution to this problem.
