Created sketches for 3 new toy ideas based on different physical principles.

3 Different educational yet interesting toy concepts for children

Help children begin to understand physics without them knowing it.

Understand the inner workings of mysterious mechanical wind-up toys.

The goals of the project is to create three toy concepts that will be entertaining for children.

In a group of three (an engineer, a designer, and a writer), we investigated how a toy stove pot worked without taking it apart. We first noticed how the vegetables moved up and down in an alternating pattern. This helped us lead to the hypothesis that there were three layers (one for each colored vegetable and the flat "soup" layer), and a gear was pushing the layers up in an alternating pattern to make it work.

Two projects that relate to Reactive Spaces and Media Architecture, which fascinated me. Project 1: Parametric Space - Zaha Hadid, Project 2: FLUIDIC- Sculpture in Motion - WHITEvoid, Bonus project: Filament Mind - Yong Ju Lee

It conforms to the inhabitants of a space, reversing the traditional relationship of built space to the inhabitant, bringing typical subconscious assumptions of space into conscious question. By the project’s increased visual opacity and performative aspects, traditional and subconsciously assumed power structures of architecture are subverted, empowering the user to an active force that projects itself onto the world around it, reforming the built environment at a perceptual scale and timeline.

Project Description: A portable instrument to collect ambient light level data and condense it into a musical rendition of the rhythms of the day. Project Goal: To create an instrument that will intercept light levels throughout the day and then, those will be inputted into a computer and then, will be outputted in musical sounds or beats. You will be able to “listen” or “replay” your day. Video Demonstration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwErMUp7w0k

A playful display to build empathy for all the kids who ever have to sit and wait in a droll doctor's office before getting an allergy shot.

I created a CNC weaving robot. Essentially, it is a robotic attachment for the CNC router that, when activated by a push button, passes a spool of thread across a gap around a thread. For the project, the router bed was fitted with a thread grid that the robot maneuvered around. And over the course of the demonstration, a pattern emerged.

This project is an exploration of how the concept of personal space can exist outside the realm of the person and more specifically exist within physical objects.
