Poll for Fri Nov 22: who could show at the museum?
9:30AM - 11:30AM
10:00AM - 12:00PM
Assignments
Due today: bring in three specific ideas for museum projects and be prepared to sketch them on the whiteboard. Keep in mind we have about two weeks for the first prototype.
Due Wed Oct 30: qualification testing for first museum demo
Due Fri Nov 1: on-site testing at Children’s Museum
In-class
Pass back museum observations.
Pick your favorite idea and sketch it out on the whiteboard table. Please consider:
We’ll divide in half across the room and share ideas round-robin, one on one. I’ll assign an ordering; not everyone will hear from everyone else. After each round the interviewers will rotate around. You’ll have eight chances to present, eight to interview. (3 minutes/round, review timer).
Feasibility questions?
Discuss future review topic ideas:
Packaging and enclosure: hiding wires, etc.
Mechanism: linkages, cams.
Structure: joinery, stiffness.
Software: complex scripting, long-term behavior.
Pass out partner ballots.
