Synopsis ready:
Our project is called the bOxx! Our objective was to create a box that was easy to carry around and could store a lot of things. We got this idea from the problems we faced in Term1, when we had to rush to and fro from classes to classes while carrying all our stationeries and work. In the end, all our belongings were bent or dropped until they were spoilt. Hence we came up with bOxx! We thought that big boxes were kind of bulky to lug around hence, we came up with the idea of a foldable box. We created the bOxx! Such that it could be stored much easier than most other big boxes when compacted and could store almost the same amount when extended. The bOxx! is made out of cardboard as cardboard is easily foldable and can support a large amount of weight. We made a simple average day box but with an extension at the side which allows it to be fully extended to the desired length.

Get ready for semi-finals!

.:Friday, 10/07:.

Meeting: 11
Mentor: absent
Time: 1300~1700
Present: Alvin, Zhen Hui, Yi Xuan, Eugene
Absent: None

Matters discussed:
1)3rd prototype made by Eugene and Zhen Hui
The box is quite different from the original idea since it is made out of only one piece of cardboard. More flaps that needed to be folded to collapse it. It is covered with bubble wrap to protect the box and it also makes the box more appealing aesthetically. Now, the expanded version is A4 size instead of the original A3. The collapsed version is less bulky. Additions have to be made for the box because of certain differences between the original idea and the new box(e.g. Holes).

2) Comments made by other group members:
Yi Xuan: Quite well done but it needs a cover.
Alvin: Should not have strayed so far from original idea.

Tasks assigned:
None

.:Sunday, 05/07:.

Meeting: 10
Mentor: absent
Time: 1500~1700
Present: Alvin, Eugene, Yi Xuan, Zhen Hui
Absent: None

Matters discussed:
1) 2nd prototype made by all group members
It is made of cardboard. The measurements are wrong because too much slack is given. However, the expanded portion is a lot more than the previous box. Also, it looks a little ugly because a lot of tape can be seen and it is rather obvious due to colour. It is still quite bulky and unable to fit in bags.

2) Comments made by group members
Alvin: A better attempt than before. Perhaps paint would do the trick?
Zhen Hui: The measurements really need correction.
Yi Xuan: The judges might not find it aesthetically appealing.
Eugene: Follows the original idea really well.

Tasks  assigned:
Eugene & Zhen Hui: Design & construct the 3rd prototype
