#3 Negative Inlay 

This is a complicated assignment that has a number of important details than must be followed in order to produce a useable finished product.   

1)  Choose an image you wish to cut out

2)  Using this image you are required to use Engrave, Cut and score

3)  This image will have 3 parts

        a) Main image that will be engraved, scored however must be cut or cut around

        b) You must inlay a different material (different wood, acrylic) in or around the image

        c) You must have a backer piece that will allow you to glue the pieces together 

 ASSIGNMENT ACTION STEPS 

You will choose 5 pictures that must be black and white.  

You will need to save these pictures to the desktop on your computer.

Bring Image into AI using the place command

Live trace the image

Ungroup the image

Select the direct selection tool

delete the outside shape and any white background image

Check image for any tails, spots or hangers and delete them

Save image as an SVG

Bring image into Glowforge

LEARNING OUTCOMES / Standards will be listed in the assignment in classroom.

ASSIGNMENT 

As we discuss the realizations, Engineers and Scientists may have not considered the impacts and  Downstream affects of critical decisions, consider the actions which have led to the extreme pollution across the world, answer the following questions.  

You can find these questions as a link in the classroom.  Complete and submit assignment.

In your observations of the videos identify obstacles which would hold back or hinder the collection process of the ocean clean up and the interceptors 

Take a stance on whether these types of collection devices are serving the symptom or the cause in the fight against pollution and environmental inequality for some across the world?

 ASSIGNMENT  # 2 

1)  USING THE DESIGN THINKING APPROACH YOU WILL ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTION BELOW.  ANSWER THEM ON THE DOCUMENT POSTED IN CLASSROOM, THEN SUBMIT THEM TO THAT ASSIGNMENT. 

DESIGN THINKING 

Take some time to think....now think some more. Your task is to come up with an example of a specific global problem/situation/social ill this type of design thinking would allow you to create a solvable solution to.

It is very important to not let the lack of technology control you thought process or solution to the problem.   

1)  Identify the problem you are intending to solve.  Create an approach/solution/s which current technology does not currently support but most certainly could in the future.

2)  Next take a moment to consider the down stream affects you're solution could potentially have on society and the affects generations yet to come.

3)  Lastly identify areas you think you could consider improvements.  Identify the improvement's as well as the resources needed to produce this technological product/s.

"Only those who attempt the absurd can achieve the impossible"                            ~ Albert Einstein

Now that I have your attention!
Imagine you're 5 year old self laying there on a summer day with your little friend, watching the cloud animals float by across the summer sun.  Then all of a sudden they said to you, lets build a ladder to the sun.....

WOULD YOU DO IT!

NOW THAT YOUR MIND IS IN THE CORRECT SPACE, PRETEND YOU ARE 5 YEARS OLD...CLOSE YOUR EYES AND BRING YOURSELF BACK TO THAT TIME...FEEL THE CREATIVITY FLOW.. 

ASSIGNMENT #1 

YOUR CREATIVITY TASK:

INVENT  SOMETHING THAT DOES NOT EXIST...

EXAMPLES:

THE LADDER TO THE SUN, SPRAY ON SOCKS, A WINDOW THAT TRANSPORTS YOU ANYWRE IN THE WORLD.

THE KEY TO THIS IS YOU HAVE TO CREATE SOMETHING THAT DOES NOT EXIST.  THERE ARE NO LIMITATIONS IN THE DESIGN, MATERILAS, MANUFACTURING OF YOUR PRODUCT.  

DELIVERABLES

1) Sketch your product clearly, sketch it large, label each part

2) Write a crazy good description!  You will be pitching it to your classmates to determine viability. 

ASSIGNMENT #2
