Assignment¶
With the date of our Final Project presentation getting closer, there is no group assignment. Individual assignment has something to do with our own Final Project.
- Develop a plan for dissemination of your final project;
- Prepare drafts of your summary slide (presentation.png, 1920x1080)
and video clip (presentation.mp4, 1080p HTML5, < ~minute, < ~10 MB)
and put them in your root directory
Dissemination of My Final Project¶
-
As mentioned earlier in this journey, I consulted with the officials of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and briefed the outline of my idea for Final Project. We agreed that once my prototype is ready, I will make a presentation to them. Besides, it is scheduled that I make a 15-minute presentation about global FabLab network, Fab Academy and my Final Project at the bi-annual conference of the Japan Society for International Development (JASID) on June 15, 2024.
-
In the long run, I am hoping to set up a mini FabLab near the JICA training institute in Komagane, Nagano prefecture, the venue for the pre-departure training of the Japanese voluteers to be dispatched under the JICA Volunteer Program. My project could be integrated to their training program so that the candidates could be sensitized to FabLabs and digital fabrication before they are dispatched to the countries of their services.

In the global session this week, Neil referred to the Creative Commons lisenses. As part of my preparation for the registration of my product, I took access to the Creative Commons websites and tried the Lisence Chooser. After I answered the first two questions, the Lisense Chooser recommended “CC0 1.0 Universal” as the best suited lisence to my requirement. I am expecting that my initial project design will be downloaded and remixed according to the availability of the materials, machines and facility in their locality. Of course, I am hoping that they will keep me in the loop so that we could be connected to each other globally.
