OVERVIEW
The task was to design a product based on real world issues and present it to the class. The issue I was assigned was school violence and shootings, and my product was QuickShield. QuickShield is a portable classroom barrier system designed to improve safety and emergency preparedness in school environments. The project focused on creating a practical, affordable, and easily deployable solution that could be used by teachers during lockdown or emergency situations. The design emphasized portability, durability, and ease of use while maintaining classroom accessibility.
