Design Process
  • Design process envolves a lot of creativity. Since I was trying to create something for different age group, it was especially hard since there are a lot of limitations on level of knowledge that can be represented.
  • Also, I was trying to create a toy that represents some kind of engineering concept. Since I'm not really familiar with engineering stuffs, I had hard time coming up with concepts. Prior review on different engineering concept could've been very helpful.
Communication
  • Communicating your idea through a concept is also very difficult. Though it is always fun to come up with different invention kinda stuffs, it is really hard to come up with good ideas.
  • I had to keep in mind of the audience(kids!!!) all the time I was brainstorming about my concepts.
Problem Solving
  • Hmm...
Team Work
  • If this was a team project, it could've been easier since there will be more ideas that can be considered. Plus, there could be more feedbacks on my idea also.
Self and Team evaluation
  • After seeing everyone's presentation, I was quite amazed on some of the designs of classmates.
  • What I realized that it does not necessarily have to be complex in order to represent your idea through a prototype.
Knowledge about Rapid Prototyping Techniques
  • Well, I learned a lot about how a simple design can reflex so much knowledge.
