Images, Links, and Projects to get you started with ideas for making.
How much time do you have?
Day, Week, Month, minutes?
How big do you think you want to make this? Be prepared to talk about measurements?
What materials are you thinking about?
Have you worked with these materials before?
Do you have a concept sketch? Something more than a napkin drawing?
Are there others who have made something like this before?
What have they done and how did they do it?
Share images, links, photos, and models
What can YOU do and design outside the lab so that when you arrive, you are focused on action steps and ready to jump into a machine, process, or tool?
Can you create a proof of concept?
Sometimes this is a paper or cardboard prototype for size, form, functionality, and feasibility.
Can you break it down into components? If electronics are involved, you should be working on this part separately and simultaneously.
