Course Final & Summary Post

As a final for this class you should include the following two components in your project portfolio.

(A) Final Reflection Summary and (B) Final Presentation Slide/image.

(A) Final Reflection Summary

For the final post, you should summarize your experience in the Fab Lab. The purpose of this activity is to help you reflect on your thinking about the course, designing, prototyping, and to identify how your ideas have changed over time. Please answer the following statements with more than just one-liners. This is a final and should be written with proper format, puncutation, and grammar.

What did you learn along the way? (What are you good at, something new, something simple, tool, skill, technique, terminology)
I used to think.....
But now I think...
The things I would change...
I enjoyed ....
I felt challenged when...
I felt proud when...

(B) Final Presentation Slide / Image

Create a new Final Slide added to your project slide deck that includes the following:

- your name and Inkscape designed logo
- multiple photos, renderings, sketches of your projects
- a brief summary of what you learned in this course
- the final image must be clickable to expand to full size

Use all that we learned in class combining your Adobe Illustrator skills, with your google slides skills, with your knowledge of the design process, and the use of the Elements and Principles of design.

Course Documentation - Blog / Portfolio Post

Students are required to document the progress of their work in an online blog format. The blog posts should be written outside of class or immediately after project cleanup to take advantage of the time in the Fab Lab where you have direct access to the tools, machines, materials and the teacher. Seeing the blog post as a homework assignment due after each class is a great routine for documentation.

Your blog posts should show progress on your project in the form of written reflection, breakthrough moments, challenges, and next steps and should be accompanied by evidence of the progress with photos, screen captures, scans, and videos.

At a minimum each post should include:

- A text description of their progress for the class.
- Supporting visual evidence of changes and progress (photos, screen captures, scans, and videos)
- What did you learn during the class session?
- What challenges did you have during the class?
- What are your next steps?
