This week what I witnessed during observations was, everyone working in Tinkercad on desired projects. As week 9  creep over the horizon it seemed like this sort of frenzy sweep through the air. Questions rose about the possibility of printing over the holidays and the answer was no its closed all week. On Wednesday we had an artist lecture about time, and how so many feet of film amounts to a certain amount of time. On Thursday we discussed this concept and the 3d printing of food it was a good discussion. I am excited to see how this following week turns out.

This week what I witnessed during observations was, everyone working in Tinkercad on desired projects.  On Wednesday we had art lecture and students from our class discussed inequality and student debt. This was a good time for students with similar view points to converse and connect. In Seminar we discussed, things like certain company’s have robots doing work that humans once did.  I say that sounds about right technology is rapidly progressing, the constant reproduction and reinvention of already made devices. The perfect example of that I believe is the iPhone. Will we be any better off  when we get to the 50th iteration of the iPhone. We also talked about social networking and how people rely less on face to face conversation. I feel we rely so much on technology  that the knowledge to take care of ourselves without it is evaporating. With that being said who knows what will happen?  The end may be as the beginning, a Big Bang except this one will be into nonexistence.

This week was a good week. What I observed this week was, everyone working in Tinkercad on their chosen projects. Everyone seems to have a friendly feel for the bunny project. We also assembled groups that had similar projects for week 10. We combined seminar groups for wk 6 and that was insightful. We discussed Science and Shiva. Everyone expressed thier points of view and opinions in a civil manner and this is always accepted. As the quarter comes to an end everything seems to have this nice flow to it. I hope this continues the rest of the quarter.

This week Suzanne made a comment ” No harm no foul”. I like that because it makes sense. Everyone is always working together in class, no matter the task. Its nice to see everyone learning from each other. I think that is a really awesome thing. Even if there’s ever a disagreement in seminar its not a worry, everyone gets through it. We agree everyone is entitled to their opinions and when we disagree no harm no foul right.

In reading this week Suzanne had a thought. ” Taking big chances had gotten her this far and it would and it would take her farther she knew.” In class it was good to see everyone making progress. Everyone developing their own little routine. Everyone is making progress on their blue rabbit so to speak.  Everyone taking chances on what they want to make. I realized something this week that I can be my own worst enemy. Instead I’ve decided to get out of myself’s way take those chances. Isn’t that what life is about we have to live and learn to become stronger.

Any one can Make.

The quote I chose from week 3 Suzanne reading was, ” How come no girls?” This week I observed the class becoming more familiar with Tinkercad. Our class is made up of  Man  and Woman each of whom are, using the skills they learned about Tinkercad and Makerbot to Make. It doesn’t matter Man or Woman if you have the will and the desire you can be a Maker. If we keep our heads up and apply what we know to life. We might be what this little world needs to hold on and survive. Man or Woman we all have a role in our survival.

What I observed; The software website we worked on was tinkercad.com.  In Tinkercad we designed a coin and sent it to a 3-D printer.  A few coins had a ruff run but overall it was okay. As a class we were broke up into groups and one group designed the coin and one group observed and then we switched. While observing I asked a few students what they had trouble with and some said adjusting the  size of the object they were working on. Other than that it seemed like a pretty good experience tinkering and learning.

This is my TEST post.
