Using Corel Vector, create a custom-designed lamp. Import the template file that is attached to this challenge and customize it to make it your own. You can view the videos (created by Mr. Johnson!) under the "resources" tab to learn more. To complete this challenge you must include a post on your project page that explains your process and includes an SVG file and screenshot.

Using Cuttle your challenge is to design two functional gears that rotate together. To complete this challenge, you must post what you learned on your project page and include a screenshot and an SVG file of your gears that can be used to cut them out of cardboard on the laser cutter.

Using Codeblocks, your challenge is to write a script that automates the construction of a rocket or spaceship.

To complete this challenge, you should post on your project page. your post should include a description of what you learned, an STL file and a GIF of your automation.

Using TinkerCad, your challenge is to create two lego bricks to the specifications described in the image above. Instead of "carving" the word "Lego" into the studs on each brick, you should "carve" your own initials (to make the custom-designs.)

To complete this challenge you must create a post on your project page which describes what you learned. You should attach your STL file to the post and include a screenshot from TinkerCad.

Creating your First Presentation

In this video, we will be talking about creating your very first presentation. We will go over basic navigation to a new presentation, creating new content and finally going over the tools available.  After this post, consider checking out other tutorials, such as the Types of Content tab or check out the master list of Slide Editor Tools to get a more advanced look into the Slide Editor.

What is the NuVu Platform?

The NuVu Platform was created to support student documentation and collaboration. It acts as a digital sketchbook, learning management system, and presentation and portfolio tool.

What makes our platform different is that it is centered on visually-based media and content, and designed specifically for studio-based teaching and learning.

A studio-based teaching environment is highly dynamic, with different phases and parts of projects happening simultaneously and also at their own paces. The platform is a tool that provides a structure for that process while also being flexible. Instructors can clearly communicate the intent and resources of the studio, and students can access and engage with these resources as needed.

Teachers can post assignments, create project folders and generate interactive content for students. Our dynamic studio structure allows for any and all types of learning to be accomplished. The platform is where teachers guide students through the iterative and design based learning process. 

Students can post the progress of their work on regular intervals and the platform allows students to easily share ideas visually and quickly through the upload of images from their phone, which becomes super critical as we all become more adept at virtual teaching and learning. The platform is where students document their process through the posting of sketches, photographs, design research, and writing. Students can collaborate virtually with their classmates, even though they are not in the same physical location. 

The platform also allows for commenting and feedback from coaches, outside reviewers or experts, and student peers. For example if you had a practitioner expert that was on a review panel, they could comment directly on students’ work and provide feedback on the platform. 

Studio culture is an important part of the architecture school experience, and the platform aims to support this culture through the open sharing of work. Students and faculty can see work from any student, or any studio, across the platform, and comment and engage with that work. 

At the end of a project or term, students can use the platform to present their final work. 

This work can also be shared publicly with peers, potential employers, media outlets, or community partners.
