Background / Water is the most essential resource for hikers in the mountain. In the journey, hikers should often find the water source around, get the water and purify it. Water control in one day is also important that even influence hikers' health condition. According to the research, we found that the long-distance multi-day hikers highly care about water use. Most of the hikers have the bad experience of drinking when hiking. As a result, we designed an innovative water device that create a better way for personal use of water.

Background /
Cooking is not just for adults, kids also need to start cooking. There are a lot of research and examples stating that it is beneficial for kids to start cooking at a young age, they can gain food knowledge, develop the five senses, train their hand-eye coordination, and learn a life skill. Kids’ food education continues to gain attention throughout the years, and countries such as England and Japan have even established regulations towards food education. They emphasize on the necessity of including learning to cook into child education, and they urge kids to learn more about food and to cherish food. However, this is not a common practice in Taiwan. Also, existing products cannot truly fit the needs for kids to cook. Hence, most of the kids in Taiwan rarely have the opportunity to try cooking.
Let the kids cook! Rather than keeping them away from danger, why not teach them how to cook in a proper way. Hand them the tools that they truly need, and give them a chance to try cooking, and to build up the proper cognition of cooking. Let the kids and their parents experience the great joy of cooking together.

Kids' difficulties
?
Unsuitable gestures
Unstable work
Hard to memorize
Most parents teach their kids to cook by experience, rather than the most suitable gestures for kids.
Most cooking works are unstable and dangerous for kids to handle with not enough strength.
It is difficult for kids to memorize the motion cooking with the normal kitchen utensils.
Parents' difficulties
Complicated to prep
Mess in kitchen
The preparation beforehand is complicated, and the parents don’t know how to lead the activity.
Kids often mess up the kitchen after cooking. And It is troubled to clean the environment.
Learning in cooking After discussing with the teachers and experts from cooking and education field, they all empathize the importance of learning through cooking. And They teach the cooking classes for kids with a lot of activities of learning food knowledge, developing the five senses, training their hand-eye coordination.
Kids are in charge
Cook and learn
Let the kids finish the dish on their own.
Add learning opportunities into cooking, and let the kids learn through experience.

After research, we found that the most important factor is the cooking process, not only will it ease the trouble that parents go through, it can also let the kids learn to cook more thoroughly. We simplified the complicated cooking process into five simple steps.
Our purpose "Learning in cooking" is main idea that we want to develop in our design. We want that kids cook not just to finish a dish but enjoy the process we elaborately arrange for them t o l e a r n p ro p e r s k i ll s a n d cognition from cooking.
Make kids involve more and learn from cooking
"Through practice, kids train their muscle development and easily understand how to cook."
"develop good cleaning habit and the proper cognition of cooking"
? Provide kids the suitable tools and methods to cook
Simplify the problems of cleaning and preparation
Target range of age Our targer users are kids from age 4 to age 7. It is appropriate for kids over age 4 to cook with kitchen utensils as their cognition and strengh develop to a certain level.

Concept Rather than keeping them away from danger, why not teach them how to cook in a proper way. Hand them the tools that they truly need, and give them a chance to try cooking, and to build up the proper cognition of cooking.
Form (human factors and measurements)
Color planning
The end of the handles are designed more round, to enhance the grip and elevate the accuracy while using.
Kids are sensitive to color, so we distinguished the cooking process with different colors, cool colors as the prep section, and warm colors as the cook section. Also, we used a bright yellow as the guide for the tools.
26
Prep Section
The tools in the prep section are functional chopping boards and the tools that correspond to them (a knife, a peeler, and a grater), to guide the kids to use the most suitable gestures and motion, while the chopping board creates more stability.
Functional chopping boards Place the board that you want to use close to yourself, and the other one upside down at the further end, to make the kids more focused on the area in use.
Stablize food
Habit of order
Knife A guideline on the side of the knife, to guide the kids to use the proper motion to chop, while the printed lines on the chopping board provides a guide to slice, also enhancing the training of hand-eye coordination.

Peeler
Peeler and grater Peeling and grating with horizontal motions reduce the danger that might be caused by the traditional multi-direction motions, and the corresponding chopping board offers more stability.

Cook Section
The cook section trains the kids’ ability to choose the more suitable tool to use. We summed up the cook section into four main tasks (to flip, to stir, to grasp, and to dish up), and most of the tasks can be done with either a spatula or a tong. The enough length of the handle prevents kids from touching the pan.
Spatula
Tong
The shape of the spatula is designed to create the special angle for kids to stir food easily, and the silicone component in the center creates a depth while dishing up, without interfering the other motions.
To accomplish more detailed motions, and to grasp and stir in smaller area.
Silicone component - dish up

Concept / People care about time, because they worry that time is not enough. People need a clock to remind themselves to take it slow. "Time to Roam" stops the time and make you imagine roaming relaxed in another space-time.
35
Design / Idea from the timer used in GO game, I design the two clock dials to express the anxious and pressured feel people get in the game when they look at the timer. Upon the left clock dial is a button, which can control the operation of the left clock.

Kickstarter Projects
Jacket & Bag Transformed in Seconds Cooperated with
photo credit: mininch
About / "Duoket" is a project of industry-university cooperation with the design studio, Mininch. "Duoket" launched on Kickstarter in December, 2016 and first funded in 3 days. However, it was finally cancelled because of the consideration of MOQ costs and stocks. Although "Duoket" didn't realize to the market, I still gained a lot of practical experience from this project. launched on
in Dec, 2016 42
Jacket or Bag?
Background / Every time when we are going out, we would trouble what we need to wear, and how to carry all essentials (wallet, keys, mobile phone, iPad, pens, notebook, sunglasses, small electronics, cosmetics…); we hurriedly grab a bag, move things from A to B to C. In addition, we may also consider taking a jacket or not, in case there's a sudden change in the weather or temperature drop. What a fuss!
Concept / No more carrying an extra jacket or bag, only a DUOKET. Everything stays in original pockets without repack.
photo credit: mininch
Duoket is the “Jacket + Bag” design. Everything you pocket will be stayed in the same position, no matter which one you put in jacket or bag, you don’t need to take out, move, or reorganize anything when making it transformed.

"The pockets remain the same between the jacket and bag meaning if you put an item in your bag pocket, it will end up in that same pocket for your jacket."

Process / Prototype
It is a simple concept to make a jacket transform into a bag. However, the biggest challenge is that the way it transforms has to be fluent and easy. As a result, prototyping is the fastest way for me to test every solutions.
Before Duoket (First Edition)
First, I developed the project that the jacket, as well as the bag, was to make bike commuters convenient and easy to carry anything. So, I considered the functions of the design people need when riding and created some features like hanging on the frame.
47
Ideation to Realization
There were many factors affect the final design, such as materials, manufaction details, and the cost. To make DUOKET into reality, I had frequent meetings with Mininch team. I learned the practical aspect of design, the skills to make a funding project and the experience to manage the cost and the quality from them.
A Valuable Lesson
Unfortunately, Mininch finally decided to cancel the DUOKET project. Due to the supplier, the MOQ(Minimum Order Quantity) of the production was 3000 units, but the DUOKET order was still under 300 units. Mininch cannot afford the huge costs and the massive stocks with the orders. It was the first approach for us to apparel design and after our review, the project might not do very well on product design, video descriptions, and even on the pricing and cost managements. Although it was not successfully funded, I have still learnt a valuable lesson from this experience.

How to change the refills of ORBIT PEN?
1. Open the pen, take out the refill and the spring inside.
4. Insert the new refill, spring and tighten the pen head.
2. Adjust the internal tube to the suitable location by checking the refill suggested position.
5. You've changed the refill of your ORBIT pen in 30 seconds!
3. Tighten the rotation part till it touches the internal tube.
53
