Summary

Think About
•Make a list of all the things you like about your current locker. Ask several friends for their opinions.
I like that it is magnetic
I like the space that it gives to put items in
I like that you can personalize it how you want
I like that it has a lock on it with your own code

•Make a list of all the things you dislike about your current locker. Ask several friends for their opinions.
I don't like how there is not a lot of separation
its not very wide
its kind of plain on the outside

•Think about your locker not just as a metal box, but as another type of container. What other types of containers do you use each day to store stuff? (Examples: containers for food, clothing, household items)

I put my items in a drawer
a bag
a box
a room

•Many animals, insects, and plants use containers to store things (Example: bees use honeycombs). Check out some of the images in the Inspiration Gallery for other ideas of strorage units.
•Keep in mind that your newly-designed locker will be one of many along the hallway. How will these individual units all fit together? How will several students use their lockers at the same time without bumping into each other?

Our lockers plan on being somewhat spread out, that way the students will not bump into eachother while trying to scramble into their locker and get to class before the bell rings

Try This
•Based on the information you collected above, brainstorm a list of special features you’d like your new locker to have.
We would like an eye scanner for more protection
We want an outlet to chard your items
We also have hangers and drawers to store items in as well

•Make lots of sketches to get your early ideas down on paper. Learn from each different idea.
•Consider what materials the locker will be made from. What materials will be durable against the wear and tear of student use over the years?
our lockers will be made of metal and wood, it will be hard to ruin.
