Final Project Assignment
Overview
For your final project, you will propose a project of your choosing that addresses the larger themes of the class and that synthesizes the knowledge you gained over the course of the semester.
This could take the form of a toolkit, in depth material research, an interface, a wearable, etc.
Deliverables
Presentation (10 minutes)
You should include (but not necessarily in this order):
>> Design problem/space: Pose the question you want to answer. Who is it for?
>> Concept
>> Precedents/inspiration
>> Prototypes + process
>> User testing (I want to see documentation of someone interacting with it!)
>> Next steps
Documentation
>> Make an Instructable for your project. If you feel it is too complex, you may post one phase of it. You must check with me first to do so.
Here is the rubric I will use to assess your final project.
Themes to Consider
Scale + Space
Make something that changes a space.
Modularity + Interaction
How much choice does the user have?
Visibility + Relationship to Technology
How visible is your circuit?
Role of Technology in Culture
Slow technology in a fast world
The analog and the digital
Communication (symbols + actions)
