This course has been intense. I went through densely packed theory sprints along with weekly laboratory assignments that required a lot of my time, frustration, and effort. More often than not, leading me to balance at the edge of my intellectual ability - tirelessly trying to figure out why my breadboard configuration leads to a short circuit... However, by the end, I have developed a sufficient know-how to move beyond following a set blueprint and start on a creative mini project with one of my peers. Trying to escape the highly theoretical nature of previous assignments we decided to design at the intersection of technology and entertainment, creating a fully operational mini air hockey table. This turned out to be an extremely exciting challenge. Our project required the use of modern technologies, such as laser cutting and 3D printing. Additionally, the short time frame forced a close-collaboration workflow, swift division of tasks, and smart time management.
