REFLECTIONS -
This project pushed me creatively in many ways. I developed new skills and gained a better understanding of electronics and how challenging it can be to incorporate even simple electronics into a manufacturing plan.
​
For this project, I conducted extensive research on lasers and how I could accurately represent my idea in a first stage prototype. This challenged me because I had to find an alternative way to create a similar effect to what I originally envisioned for manufacturing. I learned how to solder and wire electronics. For this class, we were not required to produce a fully functional prototype, only a form that could visually represent our ideas. I chose to challenge myself by creating a working toy.
​
There are still many ways I would like to improve this project and make it a more interactive experience. I am excited to see where this project can go.
