Yesterday we had our third session in the MakerSpace and our aim was to complete our plant pot design. We all achieved this successfully which means that we are ready to decorate our pots next week to round off this block.
We had a reflection in class about the challenges that we faced last week, some wood bases did not stick together and it was challenging to cut wood exactly to size. Therefore today we discussed alternatives where we could use such as cardboard which is easier to cut and can be reinforced with foam to stop the water from the plants leaking. Or alternatively we discussed continuing with our wood bases and using wood glue, cellotape, masking tape or creating indents to create the walls 🔨
We also discussed the importance of using our meta-skills to overcome challenges during the design process, in particular adapting, collaborating and focusing 💭
