Students present press-fit construction kits
Last Wednesday, students from FabLabs showed very interesting works. The best part of it is that everybody had different interpretations of the assignment by using many types of materials (plywood, cardboard, acrylic), shapes (furniture, architectural structures, toys, scaled stuff), and opting to make their kits fixed, foldable, or movable...by the way, one almost flew!
Some people were lucky enough to have their proposals cut in the 'first chance'. Others had to try many times, learning softwares, how to use the laser cutter, changing speeds, power, etc. For both cases, students also had to document their learning process (failures, what they wanted to do, how they did it, what they learned, everything) in order to let next generation of students learn from them. So, what a better way to learn than making what you want?
