Part #1.- Adian and I created a carrier for two Ping-Pong balls that look like pair of glasses. To make this model we used four rectangular prisms and a cube. We used two long and skinny rectangular prisms to make the two temples of the glasses, and we used two rectangular prisms to make the two lenses.
