OVERVIEW 5% Design Action is a Non-Governmental Organization in Taiwan, making an effort to solve social problems. The current topic is innovation in education for children and youth. My team is assigned to care about dropouts.

TARGET GROUP - Dropouts ( Definition by the Taiwan Government ) Primary school and middle school students absent for no reason over 3 days will be classify as dropouts.

CURRENT SITUATION According to statistics from Taiwan Education Administration, Ministry of Education in 2012

The problem is more serious in middle school.

The dropouts proportion of male and female is narrowing.

The number of dropouts : 3500 people

Male Female

488 people primary school students

ANALYSIS 1. Narrow Target Group

Dropout teens - Middle School students

2. Their Demands

- Increase "self-exploration" opportunities - Find their own potentials - Rebuild their motivation to learn

3. Current Solution

- Arrange courses according to the teens' interests - Fulfill the short-term successful experience - For example: unique courses like magic, fancy basketball, bartending etc.

4. Problem

- The sourses of teachers rely solely on network of the social welfare agencies - Lack of integration for teacher resources

FINAL DESIGN The MUJO App represents the fruits of our labor in finding a way to help middle school dropouts. More specifically, nowadays, social workers have difficulty in matching teachers with students because, without further research, few people could possibly view these outcasts as anything more than hopeless slackers. MUJO resolves this information asymmetry by disclosing studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; course material and progress reports to the public, allowing eligible teachers to better understand their potential pupils and thus more likely to volunteer to help these adolescents â&#x20AC;&#x201D; effectively freeing social workers from their dilemma.

H贸

Professional Work LIGHT DESIGN

2014.01 - 2014.07

Round table and table lamps are typically two separate items, but they are often placed together. H贸 combines the functions of table and lamp into one single design, becoming next to the sofa a table made in dark brown stained beech.

H贸 18

DESIGN PROCESS 1. Define Location and Function The first step of lighting design is to define its location and function. A lighting is not only a physical product with lighting source, but also providing a pleasant, varied atmosphere with the furniture and item around it. The planned location of H贸 is near sofa in a living room, so its scale should fit to the size of surrounding furniture. In addition, the height and weight of the table has to be convenient for people to take items, like a cup or newspaper that put on the table.

Keeping draw and try different angles and sizes for each part of the product, I finally decide the size of Hó. I spend most of time to design the three legs, because I need to care about its looking and structure at the same time, avoiding the centre of gravity at the wrong place.

5. Engineering Design 1. Because H贸 is made from beech, the joint parts need to install metal threaded inserts for wood. 2. The ends of three legs should be iron in order to resist long-term wear. 3. The edge of the circle table is radius, preventing from injuring people. 4. Using strong magnet to connect table and legs. Let users easily assemble the product.

Professional Work - Light Design

2014.01 - 2014.07

Point-line-plane

The inspiration is based on the fundamental objects of geometrypoint, line, and plane. Point is the lighting resource, line is the support and plane is the table itself. These three elements make up a space as well as a product. In terms of the materials, the stand is covered by veneer and the table is coated with dark leather.

2. Scale FRONT VIEW

TOP VIEW

25 Point-line-plane

Point-line-plane is planned to place near bed, so its size is similar to bedside table. The round edge of the table locates close to bed, and there is distance between the lamp shade and bed, which provide suitable arrangement for product and human.

3. Sketch

4. Different Materials Rendering

Point-line-plane 26

5. Engineering Design 1. Because the table is coated with leather, the top tube and the under tube cannot fix the table with screws directly. Therefore, the gap between tube and table should place a rubber plate. 2. The metal base need to provide space for wire to pass. 3. The screws have different sizes in order to let the tube fixed in the right direction.

FruitSlide 38

BACKGROUND At first, we focus on fruit farm industry in Taiwan. After basic information in research, we decide to pay attention to "mango" according to the following reasons: 1. Mangos are one of the first three profitable fruit in production and economy of Taiwan. 2. The surfaces of mangos are delicate, which cause more complicated planting process than other kinds of fruit. 3. In Taiwan, Yuching is the place which produces the maximum number of mangos. It is more convenient for students in Tainan to observe and interview mango farmers.

39 FruitSlide

OBSERVATION AND INTERVIEW We went to observe the planting process of mango farmers, trying to realize the real practice and activities including the environments, work, behaviors and tools. On the other hand, we find some experts from schools and governments to understand more related researches. Interviewees : Jia-Liang, Liu (mango farmer) / Qing-Jin, Wu (mango farmer) / He-Song Wang (mango farmer) Jin-Xing Zhang, Tainan District Agricultural Research and Extension Station Quan-Zhe Zhu, Tainan Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association Qing-Chang Xie, Department of Horticulture, National Chung Hsing University

harvest In the whole planting process of mangos, harvest needs a lot of labor power because farmers have to finish the harvest work within one week to prevent the mature fruit falling themselves. Such work takes a lot of time and energy. Therefore, we consider harvest work as an important issue. The process of harvest : preparing tools ( short shears, long shears, baskets, sunshade clothes, gloves ) entering the mango farm

dividing into several groups to harvest mangos

identifying the marked number on mangos to make sure which one should be harvested

putting fruits into the carry-on baskets or the baskets that placing on the ground

another group member taking the full baskets to wagon

repeating

cutting lower fruit with short shears cutting higher fruit with long shears or ladder

PROBLEM STATEMENT

Finding problems when harvesting higher fruit : With ladder 1. Too difficult to move

2. Wasting time

3.More risk for farmers

With long shears 1. Farmers should keep holding the handle of long shears all the time. If people are not careful and accidently release the handle, mangos will fall on the ground. 2. Due to long distance between farmers and fruit, it is not easy to put the fruit in specific positions.

DESIGN CONCEPT Fruitslide consists of three kinds of products â&#x20AC;&#x201C;harvest shears, cart and bags. It is designed to harvest fruits high up in trees, like mangos, apples and oranges. After being cut by the harvest shears, the fruit slides down the cloth tube. The tube uses the elasticity feature of Lycra fabrics as a slowingdown tool, which avoids fruit getting hurt. Then, fruit enters the opening entrance of harvest bag. When the bag is full of fruit, farmers can close the entrance simply with strings. Fruitslide speeds up the harvest while also saving some efforts.

DESIGN DETAILS

1 The end of harvest shears has a foam-rubber cushion to protect the falling fruit.

2 The cloth tube of harvest shears can be replaced with different size for different fruit. Farmers always plant more than one kind of fruit to increase income. They can use the same product to harvest different fruit.

51 FruitSlide

The volume of bag is designed. Four bags contain about half number of one treeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fruit.

The feet of cart can be changed into different shapes among different environments.

Every cart can be close to each other to save space.

Internal Reminding Separation for Dried Food Dried Food / including seafood, mushroom, nut, vegetation ......

When using the current refrigerators, people always put dried food everywhere, because some packages of dried food vary are thin, easy to store in many places. Thus, the new design includes a specific area for storing dried food. People would not put the dried food everywhere and forget them.

67 Refrigerator Management

yellow button

Product design / Dried food separation Due to the fact that dried food can be kept for longer time than other kinds of food, people tend to forget their expiration dates. The new separation can let people not only categorize food, but also rotate the switches to record the date (year and month). In order to prevent people from touching or changing the switches unintentionally, people should press the yellow button to loosen the limitation before changing rotary switches. In addition, there is a small board for people who want to write down more details.

Refrigerator Management 68

Internal Reminding Separation for Sauce and Cans

69 Refrigerator Management

The sliding shelf turn 13 degrees angle. When people take out one sauce or can from this area, the other bottles in the same row would move towards lower place. Therefore, the sauce or can that is close to the separation means low frequency for using. People can know foodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s using frequency by their locations.

Product design / Sauce's and Can's separation This product has the same concept as dried food separation. People can record the expiration dates and categorize food by it.

TOPIC Humidifier is less common in Taiwan while it is popular in Japan, Europe and American. Due to the fact that it is always rainy in Taiwan, most of people would neglect the problem that lack humidity indoor. Less humidity causes some healthy problems like dry skin and trachea. Therefore, humidifier should be used in specific time to prevent such problems.

DESIGN CONCEPT The form of Floating Humidifier comes from the impression of water waves which is formed by line fluently. Besides this, there is neat outlet on the surface, which is simple but still detailed. On the bottom, there are two metal stands to support its body. Floating Humidifier looks like floating above table as top-down view. Compared to the other home application with strong impression, Floating Humidifier represents a soft and comfortable feeling.
