A project contains a real life work space solution. It is a slide of sorts for your book-sack. It allows students or employees to easily and safely transport their bags from floor to floor in a multi-story building.

Have you ever wondered how you could transport your bags from level to level when there is no elevator for use? Well, My partner and I have figured out a solution to this problem! We came across the idea of making this slide because one of our friends was hurt and has no way to carry his bag besides getting someone to carry it for him. We realized this was a problem that we needed to fix because it was a common occurrence that someone had to bring his book-sack to the class was in but they would then have to run all the way across campus to get to their class.

We begun looking at ways we could solve this problem. We soon came up with a solution. We began framing and sketching our ideas. We finally came up with a good idea. It used a telescoping method to form as a chute. There would have been about ten pieces that would unfold out of itself all the way to the ground progressively getting smaller and smaller. We soon realized this was a bad idea because once the book-sack reached the ground it probably wouldn't have fit down the shoot because the end piece would be to small. Granted, we could have made the starting piece bigger but then the entire project would be too big to fit into the space.

We tried many different ways, but most of them failed for one reason or another. We finally came to the solution/project that we are currently working on. Thus being a bendy art piece/usable slide for your book-sack. The latest prototype is made out of PVC pipes that have about a ninety degree angle in them. On each PVC part there are connectors. The problem this poses it that one of the sides has to be bigger that the other meaning it is not a smooth surface all the way down the slide. We are trying to fix this problem by getting the desired slope we want, setting it, and now taping it for the tubes to be flush all the way down the slide.
