Problem:
Everyday students attend educational intuitions to advance their knowledge, and they all/most face a similar problem that nearly every student will agree with—not enough desk space. Most of the time, students are forced to choose between either taking notes on a computer which takes up the entire desk, or taking notes by hand in a binder which takes up the entire desk. Notes by computer aren’t necessarily always the most efficient way to take notes, and the same applies to hand written notes. Occasionally, you will have students who will attempt a balancing act by putting their computer on their binder, so they can take both handwritten and computer notes, but this takes away all available space, and they have to …show more content…
Desk assist is a newly designed conceptual 3 ring binder that will allow people to conquer the little space school desks provide. Desk assist looks very similar to a normal binder, except for a few minor adjustments. First, the binder is made out of a stronger material than normal binders, so the walls of the binder will not bend. Second, there are rails imbedded into the back of binder that can slid into place and will hold the entire binder flat and straight, as opposed to it bending at the middle to fold close. Thirdly, there are additional walls that will slide out of the edge of the binder to provide more space. Lastly, there are clips that will secure the binder to the desk. When you combine all of these features, you get desk assist. By using all the features, a student will be able to move their laptop over the edge of the desk to take advantage of unused isle space by using the sliding sides, and it will be full supported by the stronger binder. By moving the laptop over, this also creates more room which can be used for a book, and on the opposite side of the laptop, the sliding side can be used for something such as a calculator. Taking advantage of the unused isle space, students using desk assist leave their note taking area in the binder much less cluttered and freer.
