For the second part of the course, students plan and execute a self-directed and designed project. Much of class time becomes dedicated to “Open Lab,” allowing students access to rapid-prototyping resources of the U of Vermont Fab Lab. Assigned readings and teachings cover project management, presentation skills, and design thinking. The final project requires documentation of a well-developed product or concept and the presentation of an early prototype.
This class is of interest to:
- Degree students looking for an opportunity to make, design and build with new technologies.
- Professional creatives and artists who want to explore the use of contemporary art + technology materials and methods.
- Entrepreneurs and business professionals interested in innovation and product development .
- K-12 teachers who need to implement common the next generation science standards in engineering.
