Week 3 Reflection – Fab Lab Presentation

This week in class, we had the pleasure of listening to Jeff Ginger speak about his love for the “making” mindset and everything he has accomplished by working in the Fab Lab with people who listen to him and his instruction and have began to create amazing things in the lab. Something I found very interesting was listening to how he used a child’s game “MineCraft” as a medium to help teach children about the making mindset and get them more attracted to the idea of 3D printing and learning more about it. Some mention of the drag queen Sasha Velour was also mentioned as she has asked one of the many Fab Labs to create a dress for her which I found so amazing since I like to watch Drag and know who that is, it was a really cool moment to think about how this technology is even helping in a fashion setting! Additionally we were able to fool around a bit with tinkercad and begin creating 3D objects. My partners and I put in our first print to be made for our logo or emblem for team GEM and I am excited to see how it comes out!  #Drag #GEM #MakingMindset
