Big Black Board

A blackboard that behaves like a big sheet of paper, it's easy to carry around, perfect for tutoring lessons and team working. It gives the opportunity to save tons of paper while studying, brainstorming, sketching.
Human-centered design approach

In order to create a real impact, the first thing to investigate is what people desire

To do so, I have observed physical and social context and the interactions that take place in different learning environments.

The most interesting points discovered during the observation were:
- excessive waste of paper during group activities and during tutoring lessons, where there is no blackboard available;
- need of an object that facilitates cooperation and communication between students in a group;
- the need of said object to be carried easily from one point to another in the classroom; - - the need for different configurations to draft, exercise, cooperate and present a work.
