Teacher Reflection
Music is a passion of mine and it was great to be able to share that passion with my students through a music-based product. I planned this project to start with a lot of individual designs that came together to create a single product and it required a lot of structures to support collaboration. Once the building phase came, it was amazing to see students supporting each other and independently distributing work. This project most definitely allowed individual strengths to flourish. I also used digital fabrication in this project. This meant that the build phase was optimized and allowed for more time to be dedicated to the design phase, which I consider to be where the meat of this project lies.
Student Reflection
Not only was I able to learn new skills like soldering and computer-aided design, but I was able to get into the user’s mind and determine what would be best for them. During exhibition, it was very obvious that the visitors were having a great time and enjoying their interaction with the Jambox. Overall, this was one of the most rewarding projects I have done at High Tech High. —Austin
