1 Observe the students at
break times on different
days of the week at
different parts of the
school year.
2 Survey the students
about their locker
experiences, and ask
those who don't use theirs
why they don't.
3 Ask teachers to identify
students who don't have
necessary supplies/books
in class and talk to those
students about why not.
4 See if we can compare
results to any schools
where lockers are laid out
differently.
Data gathering stage
Re-design
configuration/size/location/materials/color
in line with results of the above research.
Try a prototype with sub-set of school
population.
Observe/survey based on prototype.
Re-design and repeat.
