Kiva Kookie Assembly Line

The year 4 design students are opening their own cookie companies. The proceeds will go to benefit entrepreneurs in third world countries through KIVA. We have been studying assembly lines and efficiency. This is our most efficient assembly line; creating nine bags of cookie dough in twenty five minutes. This will make 108 cookies for us to package and sell. In the end of the video students switch to their label creation assembly lines.
