Describe Experience
It was a circuitous journey filled with different obstacles that we managed to successfully navigate. Before deciding on or even brainstorming about the invention, we were involved in a long process of collecting primary and secondary data. The process was rather challenging as we’d often find contradicting opinions from those we conducted interviews from and had to increase the sample size to
combat that. After the initial data collection phase, despite deciding on the problem we wanted to tackle, the endless possibilities and ways to contribute to the resolution of the problem was certainly daunting. Our limited resources also put us in a tough spot as it meant we’d have to work wisely to utilise what we had to invent something substantial. It was quite stressful coming up with a practical
solution but once we decided on the shelf, things fell into place for a bit before we realised that our design had issues. Learning from the mistakes of our previous prototypes and constantly inquiring with those around us, we were able to successfully remodel and constantly redesign our prototype until we were certain we made our vision a reality. Despite struggling at times, we certainly bonded
over the mutual confusion and challenges we faced. The Road definitely wasn’t a short or smooth one but I’m glad we managed to safely and successfully get to our desired destination.

What was your experience as you created this invention?

Other Aspects to Highlight (optional)

What makes our invention unique is that it is made of boards that can be easily assembled together and also be dismantled to save space when not being used. Each board is designed like a jigsaw puzzle piece which makes it easy and simple to assemble together. It works by simply fitting
each jigsaw piece together to form any shape of shelf which is preferred, then inserting the support stick down the slot. This makes it convenient, safe and simple to construct. Additionally, it Displays the essentials that students need to keep track of, Elevates items off the ground allow students
to walk around without obstructions , Provides shelving levels to categorise items and allows for the number of levels on the shelf depending on each class's needs. Making it an efficient way to neaten the classroom and provide a more conducive study environment
