Documentation Pages

This is where all students of the minor Makers Lab 2019-2020 document their course work and project work. Start building (login required), or browse other students' work.

Snapshot of former student Kristin Jakubek's project documentation, 2017

Each week, you are asked to document three areas, that should each include the points listed below:

1.Maker skills & Attitude: document all practical steps, tips, clever hacks and findings so others can follow and replicate your making process.

• step-by-step making process (text + images)

• machine instructions and settings (text + images)

• design files and code (if applicable)

2. Design research skills: Make your decisionmaking and thinking explicit, so others can follow your thought process. Include:

• your considerations and decisionmaking every step of the way

• a reflection afterwards: what did you learn? What would you do differently next time?

• describe how you negotiated stress, frustration and ambiguity

3. Collaborative Learning: Document relationship to other people’s work

• referencing the work, projects and tutorials of others

• *all* images (including your own) should have image captions with a full reference (name of the maker, name of the project/work, year, URL)

• give credit where credit’s due (mention everyone who helped you!)

IMPORTANT NOTE ON FILENAMES!

All files of ALL students will be stored in one file folder as this platform essentially is a collaboration tool. In order to keep some overview and make the files searchable. Name all your files like so:
