The Badger Sett
Designed by: Lyndsey Bankers, Grayson Butler, Joe Jaeckels, Julie Mason, and Katie Wichman
The Badger Sett is an interim housing unit designed for a family of four to live in for one month after a disaster occurs. The shelter is completely inflatable which makes it lightweight, compactable, and easy to set-up. Heating, cooling, and electricity will allow the occupants to have comfortable living conditions at a lower cost than other situations. The Badger Sett team would like to thank Baraboo Tent and Awning for their assistance manufacturing the prototype.
b-Doc
Designed by: Nawaf Al-Baghly, Sam Hickinbottom, Sean Kelley, Nick Pergal, and Aaron Wells
b-Doc seeks to create a self locking bicycle docking station to eliminate the need for cyclists to carry locks. This secure station will reduce the outward messy appearance that parked bicycles produce on traditional racks and encourage bicyclists to make quick stops at retail establishments. At the core of the design, b-Dock adheres to two principles: simple and secure.
Debris Free WisCanopy
Designed by: Brandon Block, Trevor Hunt, Sam Moffatt, Kevin Rooney, and Noah Rotter
