Q2 Important Dates / Assignments
Nov 4 Start
Nov 10 Present the theme you want to work with: What is the craft you are going to work with and what are its key characteristics? How could physical or digital tools affect your craft in an essential way? Define this with a short written statement that you will read and discuss in class. (Also propose a few scenarios that you find interesting and want to explore?)
Nov 17 Present a proposal for you project. Present in 5 slides what your project will do, how it will work, what motivates you to do it.
— We will assign you a sensor that you’ll need to make a cool demo with. You can use tutorials and copy other people’s work, but you have to a/ personalise the demo and b/ be able to explain us how it works. Please don’t make something boring: make something that puzzles us / scares us / makes us laugh / anything…
Nov 24 Problem cases: re-worked proposal for your project if necessary. Present your working demo with the assigned sensor.
