Faculty Cart

As a faculty member teaching throughout Hayes Hall, I have to carry a lot of materials with me, such as books, computers, peripherals, and handouts for students. To limit my need of going back and forth to my office, I challenged students to conceive a simple cart to assist me in carrying all my materials for the day.
