Maker Mindsets Vlog

Assignment: In this quick design challenge, we won’t be adhering to a formal design process. This is an “Apollo 13” styled activity, meaning, “here is your stuff, now go! Spend 30 mins developing a physical prototype that is the best solution to your target audience’s needs and wants.

Response: For my redesign I used upcycled materials to create a phone stand that can adjust for multiple angles as well as both portrait and landscape modes, so that my students can easily switch between watching landscape YouTube video content and creating videos in either landscape or portrait mode.

Assignment: Assignment: Seek out a makerspace location. This space can be where making occurs in your school or district. Create and post a Vlog to your course portfolio showing off the space with observations of amenities and what you know about how the space is used.

Response: I featured my home makerspace and office where I host online classes, prepare for classes, prototype projects and pretty much everything else these days.
