I would like to begin this reflection by saying that this class 4952 “Designing for Innovation” was a very exciting and unforgettable experience. To be honest, technology was not my strong suit and for me everything was new. But I learned in this class, various technologies for prototyping and presentation.
I think one of the first challenges of this class was to create a personal website to post all the work and reflections that we have each week as homework. The reading part was very important in Perusall because it helped me to have another perspective on an entrepreneur, ideas, and prototypes. The totally new and difficult part was learning the 3D model in Tinkercad, after creating my idea we had to transport it to the 3D model in Sketchfab to make the product look more real. I think the final part of the class was even more interesting, because we had to present the product idea in a 1-minute video on Makerhub, and we had to edit it and upload it to YouTube.
To conclude, the autonomous learning mode of this course was very different and incredible since that way helped us to develop as professionals and we had good challenges to learn and make various designs in different programs.
