The Aggie Buddy
Our product improves life by keeping desks clutter-free during lectures while also charging devices.
The Aggie Buddy, our product was designed with the students best interest in mind by incorporating a few different features to help students. The first feature we included was the ability to fold in on itself as to take up as little space as possible. When we first began the process this seemed like one of the most important features because of the limited space students have to work with in their bags. This is accomplished through the use of two different hinges that decreases the space it takes making it so it folds into the size of a water bottle. The second feature we included is a built-in battery pack with two USB plug. The last feature is two clamps/vices that secure the extension to the desk and prevent it from falling and wobbling.
