3D Design for Real-World Inter

1 Credit · Level: Undergraduate

Full Title: 3D Design for Real-World Interventions "“How can we use 3D printed objects installed in public spaces to give visibility to issues of injustice, and to manifest visions of a more equitable future?” In this 1-Credit course, students will learn to use simple 3D modeling tools like TinkerCAD to develop “Intervention Objects,” objects designed to be installed in public spaces with the purpose of inspiring joy, reflection, and/or civic engagement. In addition to learning the practical skills of 3D modeling, students will also engage in readings on the history and practice of Guerilla Art; participate in discussion groups to develop their own identity, creative vision, and goals; practice exercises in ideation and iteration; and ultimately design, 3D print, and install their own Intervention Object. Students will observe the public’s response to their object, and reflect on how the reaction compares to their expectations. "
