The Wallet
You will organize in pairs. Each person will interview the other person about their life as told through the contents of their wallet. You will develop a design prototype for a new wallet that will meet the needs of their life as told through their personal stories. The wallet prototype will be made from re-purposed materials (my box of colored paper, stick-ons, crap and gadgets from Michael's, colored Post-It Notes in my drawer, dumpster diving in my trash can, and anything else that may be considered a "re-purposed" material in the Fab Lab.
The deliverable is a single post in the IB Design-Tech Year 1 Tab of your Student Web Page
