If you still need fire extinguisher training for laser access, IDeATe has arranged a special session this Friday at 10AM: Friday Feb. 20th, 10am, EHS Conference Room 307, FMS Building 3rd floor. It isn’t listed, just show up.

IDeATe requirements: IDeATe Laser Cutters. Otherwise: IDeATe Open Fabrication Hours.

We’ll be resolving project pairs soon, but not today.

Agenda

  1. Please put away all laptops and phones. Your peers deserve your full attention, and you are all expected to participate in discussion.

  2. Remaining presentations and discussion Exercise: Project Pitch (Exercise 7 Shared Folder).

  3. Breakout groups (as announced):

    • what themes do you have in common?

    • what might be a unifying concept?

    • what other interaction modes would be compelling?

    • what kinetic textile techniques would you need to develop?

  4. Please use the whiteboard tables to draw and discuss revised ideas.
