My Project

Bridge the gap between the arts and science. Projects will be designed to encourage female artists to learn about design and engineering. Artificial Intelligence concept generation will be used to assist with design solutions. Rapid prototype testing will be implemented to refine and perfect the projects for human use. Education of 3D printing and Laser cutting will be covered and students will walk away with the skills to make their own CAD files and projects to future build and refine. A great project to include in college applications.
