D School

For the first project of the year, we have D School. This was kind of an introduction project to get us started, and also socialize with a classmate. First, we reflected on our experiences here at SNC. Afterwards, we interviewed a classmate to talk about their experiences here at SNC, and asked questions to get to know them as well. We then asked some further questions to get to know them like their other hobbies, their major, what year of school here at SNC, and other similar prompts.

We then took out what stood out to us and put it into actions. We created some sketches based on what stood out to us on how they meet their need. We drew some conclusions to what they can do whether it was possible or not; we were just trying to be creative. Then, from our sketches, we had to generate the solution. We had to build or construct the other’s solution to their needs out of random materials that were in our classroom. After we constructed the solution, we got feedback based on what worked, what didn’t, and any additional ideas to the solution.

For this project I interviewed Kai, one of my classmates. A big need for her was staying organized with all the things she wants to accomplish. She gets stressed out by messes and needs to be clean and organized, but with an agenda on what she needed to do, she didn’t know how she could do all these things like the Village Project, school, and jobs and still be able to clean and stay organized. My solution was setting a day aside just for cleaning in the week, paying someone to do it, getting one of those robots that clean the floors, or maybe just be overwhelmed and do it all day everyday. After some feedback, I came to a final solution.
