#ideate

Some drawings that I did during the Ideate and Fabricate Workshop today!

One was an experimental drawing of an expression that I photographed last week, and the other was a hand with long fingernails that I found on Google.

I wanted to explore a different alley to just aracnaphobia, although it's definitely a theme that I'll visit again!

Day 1 of Ideate and Fabricate Workshop

Today I was introduced to using the 3D printer! I created a spider using modelling clay and then stuck markers (black stickers with white dots on them) to it. The markers made it easier for the scanner to collect information about the object. I then placed the spider on a surface to scan it in, and circled it with the scanner to create a 3D image on the computer. This was challenging because you have to stay a certain distance away from the object, and I kept moving too close and too far away. It was really interesting to learn about the 3D printing software.

Later on, I was introduced to Adobe illustrator, which was really interesting although difficult at the same time because the software was completely new for me! I managed to trace some images and create a few shapes, and overall I think it will be a really useful tool during the project.

Happy New Year’s Eve

Design thinking is not a thing of sitting in a room and making up one perfect idea. It’s a hands-on, people-focused approach to solving problems. It is about contemplating an idea before execution. 

It usually follows five stages:

Empathise- See the issue the way people affected see it.

Define – Identify the exact challenge to solve.

Ideate – Generate as many creative ideas as possible.

Prototype - Create a quick model of the solution to see how it works.

           Test- Launch a trial, observe what works, and adjust

For too long, we've watched from the sidelines as leaders make choices that shape our lives. It's time we step forward and let our voices ring out. We must ideate; we must spark the ideas that light the path ahead.

Holding politicians accountable isn't just our right—it's our duty. When we ideate, we arm ourselves with the power to challenge and to change. We demand honesty. We demand transparency. We demand action that serves the people.

Let's not be silent witnesses. Let's be thinkers, creators, movers of change. Through our ideas, we build the bridge to a better future.
