Teapot Project Results

Students were asked to create a box for a teapot that will be mailed through Canada Post to Vancouver, Canada.

Successful boxes meet the following criteria:
- held the teapot securely
- was strong and sturdy enough to travel
- was visually appealing (since it was a birthday present)
- was as light as possible since cost is by weight
- was as small as possible since dimensions affect cost

Three boxes stood out as the best choices:




Each student voted and the triangular prism was chosen.  However, the cost according to Canada Post decides!
