Accessibility Design Challenge

My role in this project

• Introduced and taught group members how to use Blender 3D – our 3d modelling software of choice
• Comining of each group member’s quandrant of school into one 3d model
• Thickening of walls of 3d model
• 3d printing of model(slicing, printing, scraping)

My responsibilities

• Slicing, printing, scraping of 3d model
• Comining of each group member’s quandrant of school into one 3d model
• Thickening of walls of 3d model
• Modelling my quandrant of school

I am proud of these contributions I made

• Introducing group members to blender and teaching them how to use it
• Comining of each group member’s quandrant of school into one 3d model
• 3D printing models

I will improve my collaboration skills by

•  Show all my group mates how I used the 3d printers
• Becoming a better teacher for Blender

This is what I learned about the “design sprint” and design process

• Come up with as many ideas as possible when starting a project like this, because if a group member doesn’t immediately have a great idea or an idea doesn’t work, there will be a big bank of ideas waiting for use.

This is what I learned while working with the SME

• Tactile maps need to be much larger than I originally thought
• Writing essays are especially difficult when the writer is blind and needs to mostly rely on braille to read what has been written
• The prefered height for braille to be on a wall is 118 cm (for her specifically)

This is what I liked about the process

• Being able to use Blender for a project
• Using the new Adventurer printers

This is what I will remember about the project in the future.

• The new skills I learned while using Blender and the 3d printers
• My use of the maker space
• Modelling my quadrant of the school
• Cutting the model into eighths
• Meeting with my group mates at lunch to work on the project
