Cognitive science & technology applied to the industrial design process. Prototyping techniques & approaches for objective evaluation as part of the design process. Students practice evaluating products with mechanical & electronic aspects. Evaluation processes are applied to creating functioning smart product prototypes. Project oriented subject that draws upon engineering, aesthetic, & creative skills. Creating physical products which encompass electronics & computers, aimed at including them in smart scenarios. Learn prototyping skills and create a product prototype.
Furniture making is in many ways like bridge building, connections holding posts apart with spans to support a deck. Many architects have tried their hand at furniture design, Wright, Mies Van Der Rohe, Aalto, Saarinen, Le Corbusier, and Gerhy. Students will learn traditional woodworking techniques beginning with the use of hand tools, power tools and finally woodworking machines. Students will build a single piece of furniture of an original design that must support someone weighing 185 lbs.
Tinkercad is an open, easy-to-use app for 3D design, electronics, and coding.

The set includes fabrication and automated machines that make other machines. People in other areas spanning design, engineering, art, communications, video, writing, enterprise, etc can join and learn – and experience tangible outcomes of hands-on builds and pilot projects. Building on commonly-available tools and creating processes that generate sophisticated results – using an integrated, interdisciplinary development process.
What is the vision of OHO? Our vision is that through a network of diverse organizations and individuals, a "Wikipedia for Sustainable Technologies" will be created, helping to make our planet more sustainable and livable.
What are the goals of OHO?• Find good open hardware projects.
• Create blueprints for selected projects.
• Certify and improve selected projects by experienced experts.
Learning Objectives
- build simple prototypes for user testing
- plan and conduct user testings
- cluster and analyze tester feedback
- evaluate tester feedback
- evaluate the quality of your peers' work and provide constructive feedback
Computer interface-type and web-based product prototypes
We will cover basics in building electronic circuits, understanding electricity, and programming to get you confident to build your own physical computing or interactive projects. Arduino to Go is a website book project designed to walk beginners through the steps to get started. It is an open source platform. There are a lot of resources available to help you solve specific issues or build singular projects, but we wanted to provide a solid step by step foundation to help you learn the fundamentals.
Hands-on workshop about design & electronics prototyping. Participants will learn about microcontroller programming using Arduino, solderless electronics prototyping, electronic sensors, rapid prototyping, & small team management.
