Week 10 Studio: Prototype build
Studio time to actually build the prototype, with Callum on hand for hardware questions as they come up
3 May 2027
Before the session#
Bring whatever you’ve built so far, however unfinished, plus the materials you need to keep going.
In the session#
Working time, mostly. Ask during the studio first — most hardware questions are faster answered with the door in front of you than by email, and this session is built around that. Partway through, everyone tests their in-progress prototype on someone else in the room, cold, with no coaching — the same test the public crit will run, at lower stakes.
Afterwards#
Nothing submitted. The public crit, where the finished prototype is defended, is next week.
The spec
What you bring to the session. Written so a reader can tell whether it has been met without asking you.
- a person who did not build it can operate your prototype, tested on someone in the room this session
- you have written a first draft of the one-page test script the crit submission needs
- you can name what your prototype does not yet prove
