📖 Your Story

You are a young innovator at a community makerspace in Bengaluru. The makerspace is hosting a 'Sustainable Design Challenge' where participants must create useful wooden products from locally available materials. Your mentor, an experienced craftsperson, guides you through the essential step of prototyping before working with actual wood.

What You'll Learn

  • Understand the purpose and benefits of creating prototypes before final products
  • Learn the three-step process: sketching, material collection and marking, and assembly
  • Identify appropriate materials for first-time prototyping (cardboard, waste softwood)
  • Recognize how prototypes help identify design flaws before working with expensive materials
