Statement
Working in coffee shops and public places has become a common occurrence. Sometimes, however, it becomes necessary to step away for short periods of time to take a phone call or use the restroom. Once a workspace has been set up, it can be very inconvenient to pack it all away for these short absences. However, there is a danger of theft when leaving items in public places.
Design a way for someone to secure several of his or her belongings in a public area to prevent theft quickly without disrupting the space.
Develop solutions for this problem. Be sure to write each solution on a different piece of paper, and use drawings to sketch your ideas. It’s important that you do your best and continue working for the full time of the activity.
