Project 1: Optimally Packed Spheres

Our design for week one consisted of eight spheres, made up of two separate hemispheres each that would fold up into each other and use up half ( four spheres) worth of space. When brainstorming for practical applications for our design, we were thinking about using these spheres as containers. The containers would be optimally packed into four spheres when not in use, and could open up into eight, which would create twice as much storage space.
