| DESIGN NAME: Fri3design Education PRIMARY FUNCTION: 3D Design Educational Program INSPIRATION: The idea of this Frisbee class came across my mind 8 years ago, when I saw about 20 kids hanging out at the park, all quietly, looking down at their games. They may have been chatting through the network, but no communication was being made among them in the real world. I get the impression that the scene was "being played by the digital". I came up with the idea of creating a session for the children, where they could utilize the digital technology and physically play at the same time. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: I developed an educational program that enables users to learn the fusion of physicality and digital through recreation. At the same time, I negotiated and organized the field to implement such an educational program. I had the public elementary school in the depopulated town that I live in incorporate a digital fabrication class into their general school program. To be more specific, this is an educational program that focuses on 3D modeling and 3D printer studies using Frisbees. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The reason that I decided to feature Frisbees as the subject is because I am a Frisbee player myself and I have the ability to teach unique throwing techniques, tricks, as well as creative ways to play the game. Children in elementary schools are in the phase of training their space perceptions, imagination, and physical senses using their bodies, rather than the minds. As I noticed the importance of feeling, instead of thinking. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in March 2016 in Tokushima Japan. |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: I structured the special class based on my knowledge and skill of free style Frisbee and 3D modeling. In my class, I make a few students share a computer, so they can help each other through direct communication. As the region is depopulated, there are not many students at the school. This turned out to be a perfect environment for me to teach the concept of modeling. By holding the modeling class after playing Frisbee and exercising, students become more active in participating in the class. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Software:Fusion360/T TAGS: 3D , steam , education , design RESEARCH ABSTRACT: In the class that I developed, students can train their ability of space perception, imagination, and physical senses, through making their own Frisbees using 3d printing technology, and experiencing, instead of thinking, the designed flight of the Frisbee. Designing the form of a Frisbee also leads to designing its float or the flight. By utilizing the digital technology and analyzing through 3D modeling and digital fabrication, students will find out how this sense of floating is created. CHALLENGE: I negotiated with the principal of the elementary school in the depopulated town that I live in, and began giving this special class to the students. Instead of making it a one-time workshop, I asked them to incorporate this class into their general school program, so it could be held every year. With the support from the Board of Education, the class became an annual event. Students at the elementary school are definitely becoming more familiarized with 3D modeling and digital fabrication.

NAME: Takashi Terada PROFILE: In addition to 3D modeling of commercial vehicles for domestic car manufacturers and research institutes, Takashi Terada also produces a wide range of 3D data, including 3D conversion of national important cultural properties and traditional crafts. He also took part in designing the concept, directing, and launching the maker's space (like Fablab) utilizing digital fabrication in Kamiyama-cho. At the same time, developed a STEAM educational program using 3D technology. Complete replication of the total Awa Puppet Joruri head with a 3D printer including the organization mechanism (supervised by Mr. Yoichiro Amari). As a 3D modeler, helped produce three-dimensional washi paper using 3D technology, which is used for Dogo Onsen Asuka no Yu, Lexus Takumi Project, Isetan Shinjuku Art Frame, and etc. Performed in a German Frisbee documentary as a Frisbee player. |
