Exhibition and related practicalities:
Deadline
Deadline for the exhibition setup is thursday 5th of june at 14.00
Remember that access to the library is limited to their opening hours. The library closes at 15.00 on thursday the 5th of june, and we do not want to hear any complaints from the staff about students reluctant to leave on thursday afternoon.
Guarding schedule
One student will get the responsability for setting up a guarding schedule.
Everyone will have to set aside some time during week 24 to guard and protect everyones prototypes and exhibition. ( At least its a more pleasant space to pass time in, than for any other space interactiondesign have exhibited yet)
Practicalities
Everyone have to use brown paper on their table/-s.
Tables for the exhibition will come from U1. Do carry them with care!
Keep in mind…
That the exhibition can be viewed from both the outside/corridor and the inside.
So the outside should demonstrate: concept/teaser/shelf demonstrability/eye candy etc
The inside should focus on indepth infornation/testing/process/research etc
And overall: make the exhibition accessible, consider how to communicate the concept experiences, etc.
The exhibition is being graded!
RP design brief collaboration
You will have to be present at your RP groups presentation thursday 5th of june, sometime between 09.00 – 12.00. Ideally we would recommend that you all be present at all their presentations.
The paper
Deadline for the draft for the paper is 26th of may.
Deadline for the final deliver of the paper is monday the 2nd of june at 14.00.

This includes carrying the tables back to U1 and cleanup of U1.
Final end of term with coffe and cakes and a general roundup’ from aprox 12.00!

The second two-week iteration involves using workshops as an idea-generation tool, and creating a plan for a first round of electronics prototyping.
