[Throwback Course 2 - Fablab Dynamic]
Hello GYIers! We heard that some of you already started school a few days ago, so hope everything is well at school and your lives! And here comes the throwback course 2, let's recall the beautiful memories together!
哈摟各位親愛的GYI粉絲還有GYI寶寶們! 聽說最近有些學校已經開學了呢!希望在學校還有你們生活的一切都好^ ^讓我們一 起回顧第二個課程-動態自造實驗室吧!
GYI went to Fablab Dynamic on July 20th in order to put our creative and innovative ideas into practice.
After listening to a brief introduction about Fablab, we were divided into four groups, and Regina, the co-director of Fablab, gave us a mission. She said, “Since you have stayed in Taiwan for a week, please try to solve the most irritating problem you have encountered!”
Perhaps it’s because the Taiwanese have already been accustomed to our life styles, so we couldn’t find any inconvenience. While they were puzzling over this mission, the foreign students came up with an idea immediately; they said, “There aren’t enough trash cans on the streets!” Not until that moment did we realize that there aren’t enough trash cans on the streets in Taiwan! Therefore, many students hit upon a creative idea called the “Flying Trash Can.” (When we need a trash can to throw our garbage, we can just send out a signal, then the Flying Trash Can will fly to us immediately!)
After brainstorming for a while, we used the 3D pen to draw our prototype out. Next, we made use of the 3D printer, laser cutter, and other machines to make the “real product” in practice. During the producing process, we have to be patient while communicating with other teammates. Also, thanks to the help from the staff in Fablab, if there weren’t for their help to teach us how to use the machines and discuss the design of the prototype together, we wouldn’t have been able to come up with a final product in the end!
At the presentation time, each group’s delegate shared with us their final product. Seeing their presentations such as the “Extensive Umbrella,” “Backpack Umbrella,” “The Monster Trash Can,” and the “Personal Cooler,” we knew that everyone can be a perfect maker!

[回顧課程第二發-動態自造實驗室]
第二周的星期一，我們來到動態自造實驗室，發揮自己的想像與創造力，將想法實踐於生活之中。
在聽完執行長柏廷對Fablab的介紹後，我們分成四個組，著手進行我們的任務。Regina,也就是這裡的計畫接洽人，交給我們一個任務，那就是:「台北有什麼讓你覺得不方便的地方? 請發揮創造力改善它!」
生活在台灣的學員可能已經非常習慣，然而對外國朋友來說，異鄉生活跟在他們的國家實在有很大的不同!剛收到這個任務時讓不少台灣學生陷入苦思，然而，許多美國學員卻不約而同說道:「台灣的街道需要更多的垃圾桶!」深入了解，我們才發現，原來在美國的街道上，走十幾步就有一個垃圾桶，但是台灣與美國有著天壤之別，有時候你會從夜市把食物殘留的塑膠袋，抓在手上直到走回家才能丟在家裡的垃圾桶，因不少學員產生了創造「飛行垃圾桶」的想法，想丟垃圾的時候，發出訊號，垃圾桶就會飛來我們身邊。
一整天下來，各組的討論經歷了許多波折，從絞盡腦汁到素描出假想模型；從用3D立體筆畫出想像原型到實際做出成品，每一個環節都需要與團隊耐心的溝通，讓整個小組都認同實際生產的作品。當然，如果沒有這裡的工作人員在我們討論過程中適時的幫助，每個小組都會對做出實際的模型感到無限渺茫吧!
在最終的成果報告時間，各組發言人都炯炯有神地與大夥兒分享自己的發明，同時，看著學員做出的「延伸版雨傘」、「移動式冷氣空間」、「怪獸垃圾桶」、「後背式雨傘」等，也見證了柏廷一開始告訴大家的，每一個人都是厲害的自造者!
