    OnCart

    Entrepreneurship Class

    Hanover High School

    Hanover, NH 03755

    Created OnCart for Entrepreneurship class at Hanover High School. OnCart was designed with Tyler Stern, a now Dartmouth graduate, who introduced me to SolidWorks. I would show Tyler the design I conducted, Tyler would then mimic my drawing into SolidWorks. I 3D printed the design to have a physical representation of OnCart for presentations and for display.

    Revit, AutoCAD, and SketchUp were covered in a one semester course taught by Janet Miller. Throughout the semester we pecked away at the designing of a house. We used AutoCAD and Revit to mark down measurements. We finalized with SketchUp to represent the realistic vision of our final product. ​

    Prototyping and Design class taught by professor, Jesse Pipes, was informative and engaging. Throughout the course films, TedTalks, and short clips were used to introduce key factors for prototyping and design. For our final, we were put into groups based on our strengths. Our group designed a pair of shoes for Astral (an outdoor equipment company).
