Table design

We are trying to design a table that will be stable for holding waste, easy to store( folding), easy to clean and attractive. We would like the table to be able to accommodate two trays and the waste buckets. Our model table was wide enough at 27.5". Similarly, our model table was long enough at 70".

We would like to either build a table or modify a table that we can purchase. Students and their parents are encouraged to work together on this project.


















Two students, partnered from both the 5/6 and the 7/8 team worked on developing a 3-D rendering of the school for our presentation to Laurie D. from the Vermont Compost Association tomorrow.  The students elected to work on the project and the teams re-arranged the students' schedules so that they would have close to three hours (from both science and math classes) to work on the project today.

Their model includes not only the original 3-d table, which is inside the cafeteria, but it contains a mock-up of the future garden. The use of 3-d modeling software allows us to consider different systems and helps us to identify problems in our current systems.
