Abstract
The purpose of this project is to create a camera obscura for the students of Zane Middle School.The Accordion Camera Obscura will serve as an educational tool to teach students about perspectives in art and also allow students, who have difficulty drawing, the ability to trace images. The Accordion Camera Obscura was designed by students of Humboldt State University's Engineering 215 class.
Background
The Spring 2017 engineering design class was commissioned by Zane Middle School to design a camera obscura that was portable and maintained a vintage aesthetic to it. The camera will not only display images onto a viewing class but also allow students, who have a hard time drawing, to trace those images.
Problem statement and criteria
The specifications that were given will be used in the design process. The camera must be a reflex box design. Within that, the display area for the project must be large enough for students to trace over the image that is projected onto the viewing area.
| Criteria | Constraint |
|---|---|
| Functionality | Middle school student is able to use |
| Mobility | Can be moved by a single middle school student |
| Durability | Can survive a fall off a desk |
| Educational | Meets common core standards |
| Safety | No sharp edges |
| Aesthetics | More interesting than a plain box |
| Cost | Less than $400 |
| Wow Factor | Far greater than that of a textbook |
| Environmental Impact | Greater than of a commercial product |
Description of final project

Maintenance
The accordion camera obscuara needs little maintenance, but the little care it needs will keep it creating clear images for years.
Instructions
To maintain the camera obscura it is important to clean the lens and viewing window with a clean and soft cloth. Make sure to close viewing window and to keep the camera closed while being stored and not in use.
