For our design project so far, we have toyed with the idea of something for the home, naturally. But we also want to incorporate Coleman's products that can withstand extremities, otherwise being durable. We also wanted it to be something that families can use.
At first we thought of coming up with a lamp/flashlight combination product. But Catalina came up with a really cool and innovative idea to make something to keep food warm. She drew out one that looked like a shamrock to represent the coming holiday. It had sections that could be removed from the base so it was easy to wash. These parts also keep the food warm and cold.
We then improvised this product to make it look more versatile instead of seasonal so it can be used at any time. We are still trying to finalize everything but it's going to work like the shamrock design.
I have been contributing with research on what materials to use for the design. So far everything is going good except there has been some tension and people getting offensive (Sorry, I'm not trying to start trouble but it's true). Regardless, we have made a lot of solid progress. Pictures coming soon!
