Compact Collapsible Desk

thingiverse

Virtual learning has posed a multitude of challenges for many students, one of the most prominent I have seen throughout was the lack of materials people had in their house. With the introduction of school video conferencing and having to actively take notes, I became aware of my absence of a work space. Working in locations like on a bed or couch might work, but lacks the same helpfulness as having a desk readily available. For that I created a collapsible small desk that could be easily transportable and stored, all while having space for a laptop or notebook along with all needed materials. My design includes three drawer compartments, pencil holders, spaces to organize wires or charging cables, phone holder, on desk single pencil compartment, and a drink holding space. Some issues I came up against while on this project was trying to include all the different needed compartments, on a desk that I wanted to be compact. I combated these issues by having the compartment areas, where you can store any needed materials without having it be for a specific function, the user will have the ability to choose what to store. If I could redesign this desk organizer, I would probably add more detachable features that could be added on for a more customizable experience for the student. I believe that 3D printing will help strengthen my design by physically showing me the areas that are most helpful, along with the trouble areas that need improvement or changes made. #studentchallenge
