Here are the four objects that we need to redesign.
For each object, we'll first look at some classic designs for
humans, and then you'll work on a new design for the aliens. We've
got some junior industrial designers working on concept sketchesyou'll
select and refine these concepts through a series of sketches. Or just
grab paper and pencil and draw your own!

The aliens have very different bodies than ours:
- Their planet has weaker gravity than ours, so they can leap
long distances, gliding half a mile or more with their feathery
wings.
- Their three legs are long and springy, to boost them into the
air.
- Their feet have suction cups, and they often use one foot to
grip things.
- Long ago, the aliens developed telepathic abilities, but they
retained the ability to speak, because singing is an important
cultural tradition.
- They have four mouthseach can sing a different (octave/part)
(bass, tenor, alto, soprano)so a single alien can sing in four-part
harmony.
- Their ears are large and flexible, rather like parabolic
dishes, and are able to hear sounds from far away.
- They have claw-like hands on their wings, but don't use them
to gripthey use their foot-suctions instead. The aliens can also
hold small objects in their mouths.
- They have four eyes on flexible stalks.
Now choose one of the objects above on the left, and
start redesigning it for the aliens!
