Design Specifications: Using 4 rolls of duct-tape and the Design Cycle, create a useful product that can help people in their environment. This is due February 10. ======

Investigate: Completely explain the problem and its relevance to your life. The problem is that we need to create a product from 4 rolls of duct tape and the relevance to our lives is that we need to stick to what we start. The problem is that one of our backpacks is breaking and we need it for school purposes. Therefore we are going to make a super mega ultra awesome durable duct tape backpack that is jesus worthy, just kidding it wont be that great but it will still be pretty cool. This relates to all of our lives because all of us need a backpack for school. Critically investigate the problem and evaluate information from a variety of appropriate sources.
