FINAL DESIGN BRIEF -Strand (IV)

Our Group –Nihaal,Gurdas,Sahib,Imaan-7A

Current desks in today’s world are not the best in terms of ergonomics,
efficiency and affordability which effects the students and schools.
School desks have very little storage for students to keep their
important supplies needed for learning. Some are weirdly shaped or
scaled, are too expensive or not sturdy enough and break or wobble. So
in our S.T.E.M Design class we were asked to create an ergonomic
classroom desk. The following design brief will explain our product that
we will create. The desks we are making are designed to make the
classroom experience more comfortable and productive for students as
well as cheaper for the school. Our desks will have multiple factors
contributing to why our desks are more, universal, comfortable and
eco-friendly than existing models. Our desks will have increased cubby
space, this will allow students to fit many items in their desks. The desks
will also feature organizers where students can keep their desk clean
and organize specific things in their curated spots. Our desks will also
have increased length and width with adjustable height, giving students
the opportunity to set their desks in the way that is most feasible and
comfortable to them. The desks will also feature added grips and
balance to the legs. For the best quality we will use strong and durable
materials such as metal, rubber, paint and plastic, along with various
recyclable materials like wood. In our inventory we already have
materials such as wood, cardboard, and paint. Our competition are
existing KCS school desks which are made by a Canadian company
called MITYBILT. They create various type of class furniture. We will try
our best to create more efficient, universal, and ergonomic desks as
compared to them. Our target audience are schools that are looking are
for the best comfortable, ergonomic, and affordable desks for their
students. Also, students from the age of 6-17. Our budget to
manufacture the real-life desk is $150. This budget was created as
follows. The wood for the main structure will cost about $50, cost of
steel and metals would be $50. Painting and furbishing the desk will
cost $20. The cost of the rubber grips and plastics would be $30. The
total budget of model will be $30. Lastly, the estimated scheduled time
it will take to create the desk is 2 weeks, but for the model it will take 1
to 1.5 weeks. In conclusion, our desks will be ergonomic, comfortable,
ecofriendly and the best in the market for it’s price.
