Having a strong TR background and aiming to become a strategic designer, TR was my lowest priority. Some courses did require prototyping, like building apps (Figure 21), laser-cutting board games (Figure 19) and workshop tools (Figure 16), modeling a 3D-printed compass spinner, and casting resin Post-It holders with 3D-printed inlays (Figure 17). In addition, I refitted a bicycle tire by integrating sensors and LED actuators (Figure 20). This required creating more advanced electrical circuits and growing my wiring skills.
I want to emphasize that I considered more advanced digital-physical prototypes for most workshop-oriented projects, such as interactive tabletop displays and sensor-integrated tokens (Figure 22). However, these were not executed as they would have limited the research process due to the topographical distance between participants. Instead, the online Miro platform was chosen as a medium.
