Monday, 08.03.2021:

This first week of the Stockholm project started in a special way because the whole week is done in the countries of origin with occasional video meetings via software called TEAMS. The first morning meeting started at 9 a.m. and the students introduced themselves successively. Then Jonas presented the week's program to us by answering the various questions that there might be.

 

Then he told us about the specifications for the client that we call Customer contract. The theme of this week is the construction of a table used for the laptop computer because the actual situation is more towards teleworking. The students have also to design a lining of wall for a customer.

Around 10 a.m. the teacher and designer Arek and Lauri explained a little bit about the design principles and how the students should approach the sketching phase. They then answered the students' questions and then everyone go to work with the aim of showing the first sketches at 1 p.m. and explaining the sketches already made to the others.

 

Following the explanations Lauri and Arek gave a little new lead which allowed the students to continue the part of the sketches until the end of the day.

LTTA 11 Students programs:

On Tuesday morning we started the day again with a videoconference where the students showed the new sketches. Following this Arek and Lauri started them in the manufacture of 1/5 scale models which allows to have a better view of what can pose a problem.
