Rapid Prototyping Video Takeaway
12/08/20
The rules of rapid prototyping are more of a guide to creation rather than a ruleset. In the video Tom Chi explains how the Google Glass AR headset prototype was designed. Firstly, finding the quickest way to experience allows you to think purely on how to achieve the goal of your creation by any means possible. This allows you to streamline your thoughts into having your creation complete its purpose. Next, experiment with ideas by doing/creating them is the best way to think. This is because it allows you to fully experience you idea rather than attempting to simulate the idea in your head which can exempt key problems and solutions or additions that could’ve been discovered by experience. Lastly, Using the right materials to maximize the speed of achieving your goal with your creation. This allows to to achieve your goal of said creation with out having to complete manufacture your idea. This can relate to the design challenge by one figuring out how to achieve the goal of having a stand for the phone by using anything around me like maybe some small cardboard box which is also a material that helps me create prototypes quickly. Then I could experiment with the most effective design by creating different ways of holding the phone up using my materials.

Fourth Industrial Revolution Video Takeaway
12/08/20
A big take away from is the video is the realization that we are on the verge of a human-technology integration. As our world and its environment changes we will become less natural and way more dependent on technology to sustain life. With design, in this advancement design gives us the power to literally change the way we proceed through life. Similar to past industrial revolution once we are able to change a process to make it more efficient the impact can be huge. In a nature-technology integration we are now able to design new products and buildings with natural resources we could not even think of using in the past. Additionally, the with to more sustainable Energy in this revolution allows us to push the limit of what design concepts we are actually able to produce.

Design Challenge #3
Charging Station

Emphasize
As a person who hates clutter, I am constantly presented with the problem of having too many chargers for different devices. I have tried multiple solutions to solving this clutter in the past. However, it always ends up back to clutter. Using my innovative thinking in technical design I will resolve my problem by creating a station for all my devices to charge in one place.
Define
The charging station will feature charging areas for: my iPhone, my AirPods, my Apple Watch, and my iPad, along with an extra slot for a extra device.
Chargers will be feed through holes on the walls of the station. They will get power for a power bank that resides within the station. There will also be special areas for the Apple Watch, iPhone, and AirPods charging areas.
Actionable Problem Statement
Design a charging station powered by a power bank to facilitate the charging of an Apple Watch, iPhone, AirPods, and iPad in an easy to use, organized station that is ascetically pleasing.
Chargers Dimensions

Constraints
- Size of Laser Cutting Material 0.22 inches
- Size Of Portable Charger 7 x 3.1 x 0.9 inches
- Must be designed with ease of use for user in mind.
- Should fit the iPhone, USB-C, and Apple Watch chargers.
- Design must be 3D printed cautious.
- Designs for laser cutter should not overlap each other at the edge of design.

Prototyping

In order to make the charging stations portable to suit needs of the client it will be manufactured in different parts. The box itself will be laser cut and the various components of the charging station top area will be 3D printed. Creating the station this was allows for an easier manufacturing process.
Due to the chargers not being built into the charging station. I had to design a mechanism that locked into the charging station while holding the chargers in place.
