Industrial Design, 2017

The purpose of SkipSquad is to establish a progressively educational program based on developmentally appropriate physical activity that will improve the health, wellness, and sporting experiences of all youth participants using jump rope as the model and design as the means. The skills in the SkipSquad program were based on how kids progress through the skill levels in the sport. As a child achieves more jump rope skills through the levels, he or she builds through foot coordination, hand coordination, and overall body movement. The program was built to allow a participant to work at his or her own pace, while still being able to interact with friends regardless of where he or she is in the program.

Driven by her love for problem solving, Tori Boggs discovered Industrial Design during her first year at Ohio State. While on campus, she has combined her art and engineering curiosities with her passion for medicine and serving others. A unique design student, Tori plans to attend medical school, using creative solutions in healthcare. Tori is a multiple-time World Champion Jump Roper and is a designer and performer for sport and circus groups.
