The document outlines the process of redesigning student lockers at a high school using design thinking. It involves understanding current locker issues and student needs, observing existing lockers to identify defects, defining required features and problems, ideating solutions, prototyping a new locker design based on feedback, and rigorously testing the prototype through multiple duty cycles to ensure safety, security, and a design that meets the needs of students and administrators.

1. RE-DESIGNING OF STUDENT
LOCKERS AT HIGH SCHOOL
By- Shubham Dhar Dwivedi

2. PROCESS OF DESIGN THINKING

3. UNDERSTAND
 What are the things that the locker will be
holding?
 For how many years the locker should be
there before there is a need of replacement?
 Understand the lockers working condition.
Certainly, high-school lockers have a harsh
life!!
 Get to know about the schools and student
demand.

4. OBSERVE
 Observe the previous lockers of the school,
and check for defects.
 Observe the way of application of the
lockers.
 Observe the demand variation for various
class students.

5. DEFINE
 Define what are the features that is required
by the students.
 Define the problems that were previously
faced in the lockers used so far.
 Define the classification of students on basis
of applicability of lockers.

6. IDEATE
 Brain storm to get solutions to the previous
problems.
 Provide the right lockers with the right
numbers of selves and columns to the right
group of students.
 Choose best material for a longer life and
less wear of the lockers.

7. PROTOTYPE
 Create a prototype of the locker keeping the
aforementioned point.
 Get feedback from teachers and students.
 Do the necessary changes to the prototype
as per the feedback.

8. TESTING
 Once the prototype is forwarded by various
authorities, go for testing.
 Allow the locker to pass through many duty-
cycles, higher than the actual one just for some
higher factor of safety.
 Study about the various results and do the
requisite changes.
 Beside safety, check the lockers for security too.
 It is an iterative process unless and until the
final locker is obtained, best in all respect.
