We started  from scratch, namely the recycling station. Initially, we planned to make typewriters. With limitied hands-on materials, we soon found ourselves collecting used cardboard and that's when we found the cardboard with Chinese characters written on it. Looking at this, I came up with the idea that we can turn typewriters to a language deciphering system.

Then, we started to work together. With the digital design by Siri, Liu helped cut the cardboard into pieces in measured sizes. While they were working on the computers, I found another cardboard to make the scanning machine in which the board with characters can be inserted. During the process, I found that the sides of my thing are hard to stay stable when I insert the board in it. To solve this,  I fixed several strips of cardboard that I cut at the fold of the cardboard in order to stablize the sides and it did work. After that,  I cut out two holes for wires on both sides of the scanning machine and it was done.
