AN IDEA IS BORN
After watching a volunteer struggling to organise 300 tokens into number order on a small table at my local parkrun, the idea was born to make a device that helps sort finisher tokens.
3D models created of the sorter and the dispenser, and iterated upon until a working sample was printed.

testING AND RefininG
The first tests took place at Peterpan Parkrun on 30th August, with another test on the following day at Peterpan Junior Parkrun. Both went well. Nice to have the physical items to show off after all the planning and design. Also showed the devices to the team at Woodlands Parkrun in Scarborough.
Instructional video made and new website launched.

Now the products have been refined, they are ready to test at more parkruns. Local parkruns were chosen that have less than 300 average finishers.
