Students at a school in Athlone keep leaving bags on the floor of the canteen, causing trips. The engineering class is asked to design a bag hook that clamps to the edge of a 25 mm thick table top. It must hold a bag of up to 8 kg, fold away under the table when not in use, have no sharp edges, and be made from 3 mm aluminium or mild steel strip in the school engineering room.
