This week we didn’t have actual class due to the strong snow storm and extremely low temperature, but we had an online class instead.
For the pre-class section, I go through the HCD online courses. I found that I should work on different angels when I face to some problems. Since I haven’t got the chance to meet with my group member, I’m not familiar about our project. I hope that I can learn more about and contribute more to the our group project. We’ll probably meet before Wednesday’s class.
During the class, I learned about lots of teams’ goals, inspiration, and their projects. I was really impressed by such a lot of amazing perspectives. Seeing lots of classmates holding lots of great ideas and their passion, I feel really confident about helping others by making efforts to reach our goals. I’m really glad that we have Milestone such a great guider for us to provide feedbacks and improve our projects. We should focus more on our targeted group in the following weeks.
I’m really confident about making our project better and better. I hope that we can come up with more ideas after we had the group meeting. Since I joined this course a week ago, I hope that I can figure out everything about our project and this course. I’ll cooperate with my group member and try my best to help them.
Hi!
Welcome to the course! I look forward to hearing more about your team’s project. I have already learned so much about design thinking, empathy, and different ways to look at situations. We also were visited by Illini Service Dogs in our first class, who will serve as additional mentors to the class (you can learn more about them here: https://www.illiniservicedogs.com/).
My team is looking at creating a new tread attachment, primarily used by prosthetic leg users, to facilitate walking on ice, snow and other terrains. I am so excited to see all the groups’ work at the end of the semester.
Hey Eric!
We are excited to have you on our team. Another mind is always better to have as everyone brings a different set of experiences and ideas to the group. So far the class has been very exciting, and I think you will really enjoy it as well. Since we haven’t set in stone what our project is going to focus on yet, we will be excited to hear what ideas you may have or what areas inspire you!
Hi Eric! Welcome to this course! Even though you are not on our team, I believe that it is always great to have another innovative mind in the classroom to work with and to learn from. I highly recommend you to review the materials and blog posts from the past few classes as I believe they will really help guide you later in the course. I will look forward to your work this semester!
Thank you for sharing on this post. I really enjoyed your perspective and think you are a valuable addition to our course. I think you have the right idea about the iteration of your project. Making your project “better and better” through constant change and innovations will set your project up in the right direction. Nice job!
