XFab Projects Reel

Selection of my favorite projects from the new Parsons Design & Technology course XFab, taught by Harpreet Sareen. This course consisted of 11 weekly projects to be completed over the course of 14 weeks, with 3 projects getting an extra week to complete. Projects focused on materiality and process, asking students to research and explore a new craft each week, starting with cardboard, moving to traditional crafts, machine assisted crafts, and ending with electronics. Students were challenged to experiment with materials either new to them or new to the crafts they were exploring, or both, and to challenge prescribed ways of making and interacting with their materials. Personally, this course helped me to see new perspectives on my own work and pushed me to approach challenges my own way instead of someone else's.
