Creating a Field Journal

I used my field journal throughout the class to jot down notes, sketch ideas and prototypes, and write reflections.

I created the field journal using paper, wax thread, and a needle.

Kinetic Sculpture

We created a "Rat Race" depicting the business of NYC with the many noises involved in our course: wooden chopsticks, dimensional cardboard, and added pipe-cleaner feet and tail to our rat.

CoSpace Avatar and Patronus

I chose a scuba diver avatar to represent myself since I am a marine biologist and scuba certified. My patronus is a shark, protecting me in the water. I also chose a shark because my past graduate degree was in Marine Conservation and Policy where I conducted research on Reef sharks and Nurse Sharks in Eleuthera, Bahamas.

Tinkercad

I started creating a realistic 3D model which represents a diatom which is a single celled algae. I made multiple holes in the base to add a new dimention to the diatom and a circle in the middle that I'm planning on incorporating triangles and other shapes.
