IB DESIGN TECHNOLOGY IA: RAINCOVER FOR WHEELCHAIR USERS

During the International Baccalaureate Design Technology program, a required component is the Internal Assessment (IA): a design in its entirety from identification of a problem in need of a solution, through the design and making of said solution, and the analysis of the prototype. At my school, we were limited to problems relating to disabilities. My IA was to create a solution for people in wheelchairs in the rain, a rain cover for the legs to be paired with a rain jacket.
