- Standing desk peer evaluation and redesign
- We will use this graphic organizer
- Walk around and give pluses and deltas for the designs of other groups. This is CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM not being a jerk!
- Next, with your group engage in some self reflection on your design.
- Then we will go around the room and share positives and deltas for each groups designs. This is not personal so make sure to write down what suggestions your classmates make.
- Finally as a group you will consider the peer feedback and self reflections to create a new design. You must provide at least two orthographic projections of your standing desk 2.0

- 1.1c -- Physiological Factors
ESSENTIAL IDEAS
- Designers consider three human factors to ensure that products meet ergonomic needs.
CLASS ACTIVITIES
- Let's take another look at your standing desks for Heider
- The desk you designed was for Heider. Now I want you to modify it for student use.
- Next create a SCALE orthographic drawing of your design (that's on paper this time) and you will use this document for the measurements:
- anthropometric data set CDC.pdf
- child77lnk.pdf (this data set is really old but if the other document doesn't have a measurement you are looking for then try this one)
- Pick the right numbers for the right ages!
- Try to figure out what are the right numbers -- this is intentionally vague!
- Use a ruler!
- These will be due at the end of the block.
HOMEWORK
- If you got a 7 on the test track remember your bonus
- It needs to be awesome -- just doing it does NOT guarantee a better grade (remember the About Me projects at the start of the year)
- It should have some sort of finish to it (paint, sanding, stain, etc.)
- Make it neat, clean, and tidy.
- You'll present it to the class the day we get back from break! Good Luck!!!!!!!!

ESSENTIAL IDEAS
- Designers consider three human factors to ensure that products meet ergonomic needs.
CLASS ACTIVITIES
- Quick review of ANTHROPOMETRY
- Sorry I was out last class.
- Talk about some of the anthropometric data sets you found.
- Let's find some design context for different types of anthropometric data:
- Using this document use the following pages of anthropometric data:
- 28
- 29
- 33
- 37
- 44
- 48
- 66
- 56
- 72
- 73
- 76
- Your job (with a partner) is to figure out what type of consumer product would use this data. For each page Codega expects at least 3 different types of products. For example, if it were for finger width don't just do ring, wedding ring, engagement ring, claddagh ring, etc. THINK CREATIVELY AND THINK SIMPLY!
- Make sure you for each entry in your notebook you write what the measurement is what the design context you came up with.

- Find an anthropometric data set that interests you and complete the following:
- The organization that compiled the data
- The date it was published
- The domain (i.e. area) that the data set covers
- WHY you find it interesting...

CLASS ACTIVITIES
11/8 & 11/9
CORE TOPIC
ESSENTIAL IDEA/OBJECTIVES
- Rapid prototyping is the production of a physical model of a design using three-dimensional CAD data.
CLASS ACTIVITIES
- Let's watch some videos!
- Again, using TINKERCAD create a design that solves ONE of the following problems (Codega will assign them):
- Tooth paste falling off of a shelf/out of a cabinet
- Holding a soft cover book open (especially near the start and end)
- Loose change in your pocket falling out
- Cups not fitting in your car cup holder
- You select the problem and create a solution!
- HOMEWORK
- TEST next class on modeling
- Should be relatively short...and hopefully pretty easy...

- Rapid prototyping is the production of a physical model of a design using three dimensional CAD data
CLASS ACTIVITIES
- Codega will check your desk in TinkerCad
- Now take your desk apart and put it all on one plane -- this will make it easier for Codega to 3D print some of them.
- Send the file to john.codega@richlandone.org following these steps:
- Export
- Export it as a .STL
- When it's in your documents folder or One Drive change the name from whatever silly name TinkerCad gave it to your name.
- email that file to Codega
- Now for the not very interesting part of today's class:
- Read the 4 page document about CAD
- Interact with it -- that means highlight/underline/whatever you need to do in order to show that you read and processed it.
- This will be checked for a GRADE!
- Answer the following questions in your notebook!:
- Discuss the merits of CAD for design development
- Explain the difference between Virtual Reality and animation
- Discuss how virtual reality and motion capture technologies may be used to inform human factor investigations.

- Clean up and head back to the classroom
- Take some brief notes on computer aided design and rapid prototyping

HOMEWORK
- Before you start you need to do a little bit of research.
- Find some inspiration
- take a look at existing products. Save those images (at least 5)
- Look for other furniture that has some aspect/characteristic/element that interests you and save those images (at least 5)
- Look for other non furniture products that has some aspect/characteristic/element that interests you and that you might want to incorporate into a design and save those images (at least 5)
- Finally, find three images that will inform the color or feel that you would like to have in your design and save them. This is most abstract part of the process -- you are just looking for inspiration here.
- Put all of your inspiration together in a Microsoft Publisher document -- think an elementary school collage.
HOMEWORK/CLASSWORK FOR THURSDAY - FRIDAY
- Watch some videos about:
- Next, sketch out three (3) rough ideas based on your work. It does not need to be a complete reinvention of the standing desk but it should be a combination of existing products along with some original ideas from you.
- Pick one of the desks you like best to start creating in TinkerCad .
- YOUR DESK WILL BE DUE:
- MONDAY for A-day
- Tuesday for B-Day
- I'll 3D print the best ones. We will revisit these ideas later and perhaps actually make a few prototypes.
