Introduzione

Vai al passo 1

For our project, we would like to document the fix of a whiteboard frame left outside and damaged by weather elements. Over time, leaving the whiteboard out has resulted in its inevitable falling apart at its corner joints and paint damage. We will show people how to fix a whiteboard damaged in this way to its original state.

We believe this guide is needed because whiteboard frames tend to be very fragile and can break easily and disconnect from the whiteboard itself. Whiteboards are used a lot in classrooms, workplaces, at home, and within communities, so we believe a tutorial on how to repair them would be helpful. This whiteboard, in particular, has been important to community outreach so it will help bring people together when it is fixed. This guide can also help towards sustainability by giving readers a way to repair a still-functioning whiteboard and not just go out and buy a new one.
