Today was the day when everything was finally due. We had made a total of 3 prototypes, as well as a poster and a movie. We created our prototype to make it easier to both fill up and to remove the ice. This was done by having a lid on top when vertical for filling, as well as a lid horizontally for easy ice access. The final prototype was constructed with paper and silicone. I'm going to post pictures of how far we had come. Overall, I am very happy with our outcome!

The top right corner of this poster contains our concept statement: Traditional ice cube trays are messy to fill and transport, along with having an unintuitive and frustrating mechanism for releasing ice by twisting the tray. Thus we built our design to address these three main issues. Our design can be filled and carried in a vertical format before being placed in the freezer horizontally. After freezing, the ice is easily accessed by simply opening the top, leaving perfectly divided ice cubes.
