Project Overview

This book was created by seniors at High Tech High in San Diego, California.  During this three-month long project, teams of students created a chair with a bend or curve and a lamp of their own design. Following the completion of this project, they put together a book presenting their creation and explaining their process and calculations in detail. The project incorporated the student of three-dimensional geometry, physics, and calculus. 

To prepare for this assignment, students worked in class on the mathematics behind curves and bends. In addition, they completed research on the history of design. This multidisciplinary process allowed students to incorporate many subjects into a singular project.

After studying marketing and advertising the students created advertisements to promote their products.

Each group presented an incredibly sophisticated, creative and professional final project. The success of this project was a result in the cooperation between the students and their teachers Andrew Gloag (physics and math) and Jeff Robin (art).
