Long Term Projects 1 - Spring 2016

Studio Description

David Wang

In this studio, continuing NuVu students will be challenged to advance their skills through a term long project. Students will work on larger teams that will stretch their collaboration. They will need to learn and practice time management skills. They will be asked to explore the requirements of a project, some of which may come from customers. They will be given more time to explore alternatives, choose amongst them, and justify their decisions. And, they will also hone old skills and develop new ones, ranging from CAD to fabrication to programming and circuit design. Proposed projects include: a large-scale art exhibit at Burning Man, a portable Segway-like personal transportation device, a moving virtual reality portal, and a lifting wheelchair attachment for children with Cerebral Palsy.
