Week Three Ruuuush

Hi, everybody. I am here to introduce what I learned and what I thought and what I was doing this week.

This week we had a workshop on ‘Human-centered design’. BTW, i’m quite familiar with the term ‘Human-centered’. Human-centered briefly means the process of dealing a problem is developed with people’s actions and our engagement step by step. It is more like the focus is on people suffering than on problem itself. However, this doesn’t mean it put the cart before the horse. Since most of the problems we intend to deal with are not world difficult problems as we saw in the video and we engaged. And this implies we could apply common problems with common solutions where everybody could have a insight by interact by hear, think, and create.

I really appreciate the second warm-up which is the so called ‘Treasure Box’. It really help my brain open since I’ve never done this before, though my partner said it was silly. I agreed with him but still my taste is keep silly, keep hungry:). But here I should say some last word is that human-centerd design is similar to the method preferred by many internet companies and they call it Growth-Hacking in order to dig a vertical market. See more on ‘Johns, Andy (May 11, 2012). “Facebook Growth and Traction: What are some decisions taken by the “Growth team” at Facebook that helped Facebook reach 500 million users?”

Finally come to ‘what I was doing’ section.

1, I’m doing convert SPACE ENGINEER(sandbox game) spaceships into mod files which we can 3D print

YOu guys can youtube ‘Space engineer’ and learn more on STEAM:D

BTW, anyone know C# is able to make functional ingame code. It’s has a programable block, amazingXD

2, Second I want to show my interests on TinkerCAD

Here is my design of group name card:

Since we have 4 members, so I use Polygon instead with ‘3D print’ solidtext on the fifth surface as you can see.

And I found this interesting piece of work on TinkerCAD which I am going to share with you:Nuclear Submarine

  1. I planned to print my space ship;that photo was found online.
    I don’t think they just use simple printing machine like Makerbot so they may program multicolor printing:);For Makerbot, we may stop the print at a stage(like a breakpoint) and change the plastic tube and then start printing again, that what I guess:D

  2. Did you print the SPACE ENGINEER object, or will you do it? I was wondering, how you can print one object in different colors.?
