In project groups do further work on your project. Refine the design;

 Order parts- suggested vendors

• Amazon
• Digikey
• McMaster-Carr
• Grainger

Give list to mentor----->Chris---->He will order.

Tim the Interactive Beaver group- group is large(14) - create subprojects

What appeals to you about the project?

• Pretty
• Interactive
• Design Aspect
• Kinematics
• Build to specifications

Expressing with your hands in Italian-

-Italian gestures

-Facial expressions

-Broomba- go down corridor interacting with people

Kismet Sociable Robot:

2D vs 3D versions

Minimal Viable Product

EDW Day 3-July 7th- Ideation Part III- Aurora Bear Circuit Exploration; Electronic Schematics; Narrowing the choices, voting; forming groups

Today:

• Aurora Bear
• Schematics
• Learning to solder
• Narrow choices
• Form Teams

Why do you want to do things?

Pair up with someone you don't know super well, grab pencil and paper

5 Whys?

• Why did they suggest their idea?
• What is the story behind their project idea?
• Why does your partner want to do something?

See Morse- 

The tragic event that led to the invention of the telegraph

• Education
• Tony- Music glove
• Anji--Mary wants to make GPS shoes; wants to learn stuff; solve social problem
• To learn new skills, get better at things; first try is usually horrible

------------------------

Aurora Bears- Circuitry exercise

Keep all LEDs in the same orientation

 Ideation-

• Don't start with a super specific plan- keep it general..."I want to make a visual art piece"
• Renewable energy
• Environmental problems
• Optical illusions
• Mechatronics
• Autonomous Vehicles
• Aerial vehicles
• Assistive technologies

• VR/AR
• Water Travel
• Because it's fun
• Interactive AI

Put marks next to the one you are interested in; make 5 choices, then report out

• What is the prime issue?
• Forest Fire Protection/Autonomous plane
• Water Pollution/Autonomous Boats
• Aesthetics- Interactive Tim the Beaver-talks and shakes hands
• Helpful exoskeleton that keeps people from falling over
• "Trash talk"- What is being recycled?

  Voting- raise two hands for first choice, one hand for second choice (eyes closed):

    Lowest-ranked choices deleted, then votes taken again:
