Recess Ball Cart - Fiesta Gardens
Project Status: Available
Project Overview
Fiesta Gardens requires a new ball cart to effectively contain and transport recess equipment for the younger grade students. Currently, the school uses a metal wire ball cart that is brought out every brunch and lunch recess period. However, the younger students have difficulty reaching the balls at the bottom of the cart, often necessitating them to climb inside to retrieve items such as basketballs, soccer balls, or kick balls.
To address this issue, Fiesta Gardens requests the construction of a new ball cart with the following features:
Shallower Depth: To increase accessibility for smaller students, allowing them to easily reach all the balls.
Wheels: To enhance mobility and make it easier to transport the cart.
Durable Lid: To securely close and protect the recess items inside.
Handle: To facilitate pushing and maneuvering the cart.
This new ball cart will improve the accessibility and convenience of recess equipment for the younger students, ensuring a safer and more enjoyable playtime experience.
