Puzzle Cube Challenge

The problem I had to solve was to help a company build a product from the leftover cubes so they wont be wasting money. The solution was to build a toy for the ages 3+. The given constraints of the problem was that the puzzle must be fabricated from 27 hard wood cubes. The puzzle must contain 5 puzzle pieces that are permanently attached. In order to solve the problem first i brain stormed on the shape of the 5 separate pieces. Then, I had to put the pieces together and color the design. Finally, I made the design of the package and the name of the product. What I really liked about the project was that we got to work in partners, and that it was a very hands on project. one thing that I would change about the project would be to change the size of the cubes like make them bigger. Finally, the most challenging thing that I had to do in this project was to have to cut all the cube sand put them together.
