Low fidelity prototyping

Expression

Collaboration

This project was created for the discovery museum in Acton Ma. Bucket radio is a sound project that focuses on teaching kids through play. The final project was a setup where multiple phones were connected through wires. The wires and other objects where child proofed with covers and strong materials. This kept the project from breaking down and maybe hurting someone. Additionally, each wire was made out of different materials which each provided different sounds. We also decided to have the cups be colorful as possible so that they could catch peoples eyes. The idea was specifically built around teaching people of all ages that sound travels through vibrations.

In this studio, I focused on material exploration and low fidelity prototyping. This included searching for different connection materials and drawing different ways to show how sound travels. For the low fidelity prototyping, we still hadn't found a idea to stick to so I was drawing many different interactive objects and playing around with different methods. When looking for materials I went through some research and I found which materials where better at conducting sound than others. While doing this project, I also had growth in my collaboration and expression. I hadn't worked with Hide much and I didnt know how it would go. Luckily it went really well and we created a thorough project. For expression I was able to choose the colors and set up to meet the clients needs. In the future I can use these skills to boost my team work and create a very interesting project.
