Fun Fact: For his Mechanical Engineering senior design project, Zak’s team designed and constructed a prototype table that leveraged technology found in pop-up books. The prototype was capable of seating eight people and deployed with a single gesture, while storing flat. In order to achieve this goal, the team synthesized a composite material, combining epoxy and radially asymmetric corrugated cardboard layers to achieve desired strength-to-weight characteristics. Zak’s team envisioned that this technological cross-pollination would offer significant opportunities for single-room occupancy housing and high-density living circumstances.
