What I learned from the video on Rapid prototyping Google Glass – Tom Chi
Prototyping rule: find the quickest path to experience. From the beginning of the project, it took Tom Chi’s team only one day to create a prototype that would allow him to experience Google Glass in a simplest way, which is important for prototyping. Prototyping allows to learn about the product and improve it. In addition, using household materials is useful when prototyping tech, since it is fast, cheap and comfortable. Potentially the most basic materials will then also be used for the product, since that’s what the customer is used to.
In our design challenge, it’s important to prototype the product multiple times in order to experience it and then create its best version.
Constraints for this design include: materials, price, time, level of skills.
Actionable problem statement:
The desired phone stand will be used mostly at a desk or a night stand. It should be able to switch from vertical to horizontal orientation. It should also allow the phone to be plugged in, while at the stand. The angle should be optimal for watching videos on the screen.

4th Industrial Evolution
Focus on science and education. New system is meeting the needs of people. Using technology for development and growth as society, making processes more efficient. It’s the matter adding quality, not quantity. Fighting to preserve fragile planet. Cleaner water, cleaner air. How do we integrate biology with technology?

Luminary Project in Progress
For my final project in design I decided to create a 3D puzzle.
Constraints: time, materials.
Actionable problem statement: While puzzle should be challenging to solve, I also would like for it to have good outside design and potentially be used as something other than a puzzle. This would be possible to accomplish by adding a few extra details (for example, to make it a phone stand at the same time). The puzzle has to be small enough to be easily held in hands.
This puzzle would be a small box with two holes on the opposite sides for a small metallic ball. The ball then would have to go through 3 or 4 different mazes in order to get out on the other side.
