The wiki seat project is a chunk of metal a catalyst that is, They give it to students and they have to build a seat for someone special. They must make the legs together like the catalyst but they can use anything wood, hockey sticks, metal. It challenges kids to use their creativity.
Nicolas weidnger is the founder of the wiki seat project, when he first started it no one really cared like it wasn't that interesting but now its a huge big deal.
It was created to challenge students in math,science,la to get them thunking teach them lessons but in a very fun way!
He first started it with the story of the wiki seat and than incorporated the whole language arts aspect of it. combing the two was a very smart idea.
The other students that have built this have only had to say great things about this, It is challenging at some parts but the final project when it is finished is just great! Putting your own ideas into it is just great, I personally love the girls ones but also the gameboy advance is the best! Maybe I should make a Yoshi one I love mario especially mario kart no one can beat me on that and it would be a great idea who doesn't love Yoshi? Anyways I can see why kids were so excited to do this. I am getting pretty excited myself.
I think you need to know how long it takes how to use all of the tools correctly and how perceives your measurements must be! But I have an upper hand in this area since grade 8 i have been building furniture, I have made tables chairs tool boxes images and this year, A big table and a big bench! So the building aspect of the wiki seat im not worried about i have made lots of furniture and love make and building furniture.
Furniture design is my forte I must say, Ergonomics is the measurement and the comfort of the person you are building it for! ergonomics is the politics of furniture design. Essential thins you should defiantly include is the person you are building it for, There favourite things and A pop of colour, This one girl made a cow wiki seat thats all good and cool but when you sat down you would sit on the milkers of the cow like how un comfy. I just thought it was too busy not focusing on one thing.
The elements of design are line,shape,direction,colour,texture.
The principals of design are repetition,gradient, harmony,dominance,
I would probably use the elements design instead of the principals
1-shape
2-colour
3-texture
4-direction
5-lines (the complexity)
