Collect Info
Gather more information about your existing school lockers by taking photos, sketching, conducting interviews, or doing additional research. And think about: - What is the purpose of a school locker? - How has the way you use a locker changed since you rst started school in kindergarten, for example? - How many times do you visit and open your locker each day? - Do teachers or school administrators have any safety or security concerns about lockers? What are they? - What is the height of the students?

Collect Info
Next to each item, make notes about what 'needs' that item has. (Examples: my sweaty gym clothes need to kept away from my other things; my iPod needs electricity to be charged; my winter boots need a place to drip dry). Make a list of all the items you wish you could store in your locker, but dont have room for. Open your own locker and take a photo of what's stored inside. Make a list of all the features your locker currently has. (Examples: hooks, air slots, etc.) Make a list of all the items you currently keep in your locker on a typical day. Measure the length, height, and depth of your current locker. Measure the length, height, and depth of your backpack, books, coat / shoes, and other large objects you typically keep inside your locker. Measure the width of your schools hallway.

Brainstorm Ideas
Develop sketches or models to help you puzzle through new ideas and solutions. Make a list of all the things students like about their current locker. Make a list of all the things students dislike about their current locker. Check for other ideas of storage units, honeycombs,etc. Make lots of sketches to get your early ideas down on paper.

Brainstorm Ideas

I could use recycled cardboard to make a full-scale or half-scale prototype model of my locker, to see how it looks. Break off different sections, add new pieces, and try new ideas.

Do the nal design

Develop the design that ts better for the students and the school.
