Technology Design Studio

Week 03 - Rapid Prototyping/Hack Session

Design, Hack, Repeat

Rapid Prototyping - why?

Selling the Project

Using the various materials supplied in class, design and build/hack a technology prototype. The prototype should evolve through feedback and iteration into a physical concept that could be a conceiveable or marketable project. This would include physical computing, wearables, digital art/visualization.

Working in groups of two or three, brainstorm a concept and then prototype the concept. The concept will be pitched in the last half of the class.
