6. Sustainable Bags
Create sustainable designs
by using different sustainable
strategies
Using “multi-functional” as the
strategy for this design. The
shoulder bag can transform into
a backpack
Hessian Fabric Customisable
TransformReplaceable Parts
Shoulder Bag
Back Pack
7. Sustainable Bags
Create sustainable designs
by using different sustainable
strategies.
Using “up-cycling” as the strategy for
this design. The shoulder bag is made
out of the empty coffee bean bag.

16. Ball Launcher
Design a squash-ball launcher using 3 bungee cords, Load
once and fire 3 squash-ball individually toward a target.
This is a group project and each person is specilised for an
area - Energy Storge.
Collecting data from the
bungee cord to enhance
the designing the ball
launcher
17. Ball Launcher
Ratchet to help reloading the ball
launcher bu pulling the bungee cords
Refering to the data
collected to decide
the dimention of
the system in order
to obtain maximum
power.
Hand held - Mobile
Turret - Stationary
18. Temperature Monitor
Monitoring patient’s body temperature is important, due
to condition of unable to comminucate or unable to sense
temperature these people are at risk of hyperthermia or
hypothermia.
Research shows that Hy-
perthermia begins when
body temperature rise
above 37°c
and Hypothermia begins
when body temperature
drop below 27°c
19. Temperature Monitor
Create a wearable device for user to carry and the device will
send off both light and sound signal when the body temperature
reachs too high or too low.

other electronic parts.
This flow chart
shows how the
Racing Finish Line
works step by step.
