Notes for 2020-09-02.

Notes from Day 1

For the first assignment, 2/3 of the Tinkercad links just produce a 404 error for me. Can you please help me figure out if there is a specific procedure which works reliably?

New Assignments

Daily Agenda

  1. Administrative:

    1. Kit update: the latest target date is September 4. For status please check Art Store Course Kits.

    2. Laser cutter update: TechSpark laser-cutter access is being offered via enrollment in the 24-210 mini for both A1 and A2. Enrollment for one unit entitles one reserved hour per week an unlimited walk-in time. Add date is this Friday, so please act fast if you want this.

  2. Q&A on electrical theory.

  3. Breakouts: short brainstorming session. In a random group, please discuss your mutual interests and come up with three new ideas for a “Creative Kinetic System.” Anything goes here, we’ll apply limits later, but let’s make sure it has a clear kinetic concept.

  4. After class: office hour time continues for a while.
