The desks do not necessarily have to be interlocking for them to fit well together. More importantly, they should be collapsible and compact, such as this one:
Chairs should also be foldable.
Minor adjustments can be made to these items to fit the classroom's needs.
The interior walls of the structure will be painted using a dry erase paint so that students and teachers can write on the walls with appropriate markers.
1/27:
Every classroom has furniture, but some things are simply excessive or too space-consuming to put into a mobile one-classroom school. Thus, we have thought of compact, safe, and multi-use pieces of furniture that we could construct or buy.

- Desks/tables:
- Individual desks that can interlock to form bigger tables
- Desks have some storage space
- Desktop can flip over if necessary for a white/blackboard surface
- Desks have extendable&folding legs
- Should also be collapsible, be able to extremely light, and also extremely durable
- Chairs:
- Either stackable/folding chairs or cushions to sit on
- Should be collapsible, be able to extremely light, and also extremely durable
- For the teacher:
- Class white/blackboard
- Miscellaneous:
- Bookshelves
- Lockers

| Desktop: Side view. Desktops would be able to interlock in order to form tabletops. |
Additional Ideas:
Maybe chairs and desks can use the same framework with an adjustable top. Students would have to put a whiteboard/desktop on the framework to make a desk or a cushion/chairtop on the framework to make a chair.

The blog was created. Yuzki posted what she and the other sub-group representatives had thought of for furniture, and Sharath added materials and physics topics that were to be considered. Michelle worked on most of the sketches.

The furniture group (Rishov, Sharath, Yuzki, Ralles, and Marian) made a group chat, realizing that the first part of the project was due in just over a week.

An inter-group chat was established between those who had been actively thinking about the project.
1/15
Yuzki brainstormed with members of the other middle school groups (namely Roberta, James, and Janarth) a list of possible multi-purpose pieces of furniture.
- Desks/tables
- individual desks interlock to form larger desks when needed
- storage space under the desk
- extendable/folding legs
- desk can flip over and function as a whiteboard/blackboard
- foldable/stackable chairs

Intra-group communication was attempted by with no avail.

Yuzki continued to work with the other groups to solidify plans. A Google doc was made on which sub-group de facto representatives talked about their ideas and plans.
