Materials List: Out-of-the Box:
A Furniture Design + Engineering Challenge

• initial, small-scale quick prototyping materials, such as heavy-weight paper, cardstock, chipboard, lightweight foam core board, toothpicks, (optional) orthographic paper for orthographic production drawings
• cardboard of all kinds, such as corrugated, smooth, rigid, flexible, paper towel tubes, mailing tubes, carpet roll tubes; appliance boxes work well and can be obtained at big box stores; make enough available so each team could build any of the identified furnishings

• small buckets/bins, for moistening kraft tape
• inexpensive paint brushes; available in paint sections at hardware stores
• (optional) canvas drop cloths, to protect floor or work surfaces
• safety equipment, such as safety glasses and eye protection, depending on tools used
• computers with internet access, for research
• sketch books, Post-it notes and pencils, for field trip
• cameras, to make visual record of architectural works seen on the field trip and document prototype progress
