ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Fawn Qiu - Technologist
Fawn Qiu is a multi-disciplinary technologist who introduces the creative side of engineering through playful projects.

Why you should listen

When Qiu managed product development in the technology industry, she noticed a significant lack of women and minorities in her company, so she began to experiment with introducing engineering to people in a more creative and accessible way. From costumes that blink to robots that move to a physical version of the popular app Flappy Bird, these projects engaged people from diverse backgrounds, especially women and minorities. As a result, she founded Make Anything, an organization that empowers people from all technological backgrounds through creative technology workshops.

Qiu was a former research assistant at the MIT Media Lab. She has also developed and launched several mobile applications at major technology companies. Her interactive art installations have been featured in festivals and galleries around the world. She holds a Bachelor’s Degree from The University of Pennsylvania and a Master’s Degree from Harvard Graduate School of Education.

ali nisam htjela potrošiti mnogo novaca,

I was devastatedrazoren

So a fewnekoliko of my friendsprijatelji
were alsotakođer prettyprilično addictedovisan to the gameigra,
27
69000
3256
Također nekoliko mojih prijatelja su bili
ovisni o igrici,
01:24
and I invitedpozvan them to playigrati as well.
28
72280
1920
pa sam ih pozvala da isprobaju igricu.
01:26
(VideoVideo) FriendPrijatelj: AhAh!

01:32
(LaughterSmijeh)
32
80640
1016
(Smijeh)
01:33
And they told me that it was
just as infuriatingKratica as the originalizvornik gameigra.
33
81680
3976
Rekli su mi da je jednako iritantna
kao i originalna igrica.
01:37
(LaughterSmijeh)
34
85680
1336
(Smijeh)
01:39
So I uploadedupload a demoogledni primjerak
of this projectprojekt onlinena liniji,
35
87040
3376
Stoga sam učitala demo
ovog projekta na internet
01:42
and to my surpriseiznenađenje it wentotišao viralvirusni.
36
90440
2496
i na moje iznenađenje
postalo je popularno.
01:44
It had over two millionmilijuna viewspregleda
in just a fewnekoliko daysdana.
37
92960
3096
Imalo je preko dva milijuna pogleda
u samo nekoliko dana.
01:48
(LaughterSmijeh)
38
96080
1416
(Smijeh)
01:49
And what's more interestingzanimljiv
are people'snarodno commentskomentari.
39
97520
3216
A još tu interesantniji komentari ljudi.
01:52
A lot of people
wanted to make it theirnjihov ownvlastiti,
40
100760
2416
Mnogi su htjeli napraviti sami
01:55
or askedpitao me how it was madenapravljen.
41
103200
1856
ili su me pitali kako se radi.
01:57
So this kindljubazan of confirmedpotvrđen my ideaideja
that throughkroz a creativekreativan projectprojekt,
42
105080
4296
To je potvrdilo moju ideu
da kroz kreativni projekt,
02:01
we can teachučiti people about engineeringinženjering.
43
109400
2160
možemo naučiti ljude o inžinjerstvu.
02:04
With the moneynovac madenapravljen from the viralvirusni videovideo,
44
112440
2136
S novcem zarađenim od popularnog videa
02:06
we were ableu stanju to let studentsstudenti
in our classroomučionica
45
114600
2256
bili smo u mogućnosti dopustiti
našim učenicima
02:08
all make theirnjihov ownvlastiti gameigra in a boxkutija.
46
116880
2080
da svatko napravi svoju igru.
02:11
AlthoughIako it was prettyprilično challengingizazovno,
47
119560
1856
Iako je to bio veliki
izazov naučili su
02:13
they learnednaučeno a lot of newnovi conceptspojmovi
in engineeringinženjering and programmingprogramiranje.
48
121440
3200
mnoge nove koncepte
u strojarstvu i programiranju.
02:17
And they were all eagerželjan to learnnaučiti
so they could finishZavrši the gameigra as well.
49
125160
3336
I svi su oni bili željni naučiti
kako bi također mogli završiti igricu.
02:20
(LaughterSmijeh)
50
128520
1399
(Smijeh)
02:22
So before FlappyFlappy BirdPtica BoxOkvir,
51
130440
2616
Prije Flappy Bird Box-a,
02:25
I had the ideaideja of usingkoristeći creativekreativan
engineeringinženjering projectsprojekti to teachučiti studentsstudenti.
52
133080
5536
imala sam ideju korištenja kreativnih
projekata za učenje studenata.
02:30
When I was teachingnastava at a middlesrednji schoolškola,
53
138640
2256
Kada sam predavala u srednjoj školi,
02:32
we askedpitao our studentsstudenti to buildizgraditi a robotrobot
from a standardstandard technologytehnologija kitkomplet.
54
140920
4816
pitali smo naše student da izrade robota
od standardne tehnološke opreme.
02:37
And I noticedprimijetio that
a lot of them seemedčinilo se boreddosadno.
55
145760
2896
Primijetila sam da puno njih
izgleda kao da im je dosadno.
02:40
Then a fewnekoliko of them
startedpočeo takinguzimanje pieceskomada of paperpapir
56
148680
2776
Tada je nekoliko njih
počelo uzimati komadiće papira
02:43
and decoratinguređenje theirnjihov robotsroboti.
57
151480
1616
i ukrašavati svoje robote.
02:45
And then more of them got into it,
58
153120
1936
I tada je više njih slijedilo primjer,
02:47
and they becamepostao
more interestedzainteresiran in the projectprojekt.
59
155080
2616
i postali su više
zainteresirani za projekt.
02:49
So I startedpočeo looking
for more creativekreativan waysnačine
60
157720
2896
I tako sam ja počela tražiti
kreativnije načine
02:52
to introducepredstaviti technologytehnologija to studentsstudenti.
61
160640
2360
da predstavim tehnologiju studentima.
02:55
What I foundpronađeno was that mostnajviše technologytehnologija kitssetove
availabledostupno in schoolškola
62
163560
4136
Što sam otkrila je bilo to da je većina
tehnološke opreme dostupne u školama
02:59
look a little intimidatingzastrašivanje.
63
167720
1856
izgledalo pomalo zastrašujuće.
03:01
They're all madenapravljen of plasticplastika partsdijelovi
that you can't customizeprilagoditi.
64
169600
3160
Napravljene su od plastičnih
dijelova koje ti ne možeš prilagoditi.
03:05
On topvrh of that,
they're all very expensiveskup,
65
173560
2616
Povrh svega toga,
one su sve veoma skupe,
03:08
costingobračuna troškova hundredsstotine of dollarsdolara perpo kitkomplet.
66
176200
2456
koštajući po tisuću dolara po opremi.
03:10
So that's certainlysigurno not very affordabledostupan
for mostnajviše classroomučionica budgetsproračuni.
67
178680
4040
Tako da to sigurno nije prihvatljivo
za većinu razrednih budžeta.
03:15
SinceOd I didn't find anything,
68
183320
1456
Kako ništa nisam našla,
03:16
I decidedodlučio to make something on my ownvlastiti.
69
184800
2216
odlučila sam nešto samostalno napraviti.
03:19
I startedpočeo with paperpapir and fabrictkanina.
70
187040
2936
Počela sam s papirom i tkaninom.
03:22
After all, we all playedigrao
with those sinceod we were kidsdjeca,
71
190000
3176
Ipak, svi smo se igrali
s tim otkad smo bili djeca,
03:25
and they are alsotakođer prettyprilično cheapjeftino
72
193200
1536
i također su vrlo jeftini
03:26
and can be foundpronađeno
anywherebilo kuda around the housekuća.
73
194760
2760
i mogu se naći
u svakoj kući.
03:30
And I prototypedjoš u zametku a projectprojekt
74
198200
1696
I napravila sam prvi oblik projekta
03:31
where studentsstudenti
can createstvoriti a light-upsvjetlo-up creaturestvorenje
75
199920
2576
gdje studenti mogu
napraviti osvijetljeno stvorenje
03:34
usingkoristeći fabrictkanina and googlygoogly eyesoči.
76
202520
2496
koristeći tkaninu i šaljive oči.
03:37
They were all helpingpomoć
eachsvaki other in classroomsučionice,
77
205040
2216
Svi su pomagali
jedni drugima u učionici,
03:39
and were laughingsmijanje
and discussingraspravlja the projectprojekt.
78
207280
2416
i smijali su se,
i raspravljali o projektu.
03:41
And mostnajviše importantlyvažnije,
79
209720
1216
I najvažnije,
03:42
they were ableu stanju to insertumetnuti
theirnjihov ownvlastiti creativitykreativnost into the projectprojekt.
80
210960
2960
mogli su unijeti
svoju vlastitu kreativnost u projekt.
03:46
So because of the successuspjeh of this projectprojekt,
81
214680
2056
Zbog uspjeha ovog projekta,
03:48
I continuedi dalje to createstvoriti
more engineeringinženjering projectsprojekti
82
216760
2696
nastavila sam stvarati
druge inženjerske projekte
03:51
to challengeizazov my studentsstudenti.
83
219480
1856
da izazovem svoje studente.
03:53
And I alsotakođer startedpočeo to take
these workshopsradionice outsideizvan of schoolškola
84
221360
3896
I također sam počela iznositi
ove radionice izvan škole
03:57
and into the communityzajednica.
85
225280
1536
u zajednicu.
03:58
And something really interestingzanimljiv happeneddogodilo.
86
226840
2336
I nešto se zanimljivo dogodilo.
04:01
I noticedprimijetio a lot of people
from very diversedrugačiji backgroundspozadine
87
229200
3016
Primijetila sam da su mnogi ljudi
iz veoma različitih zanimanja
04:04
startedpočeo comingdolazak to our workshopsradionice.
88
232240
2376
počeli dolazit na naše radionice.
04:06
And specificallyposebno,
89
234640
1376
Posebice,
04:08
there were a lot more womenžene
and minoritiesmanjine than I expectedočekuje se,
90
236040
4856
bilo je mnogo više žena
i manjina nego što sam očekivala,
04:12
and that you wouldn'tne bi usuallyobično see
at a traditionaltradicionalan engineeringinženjering workshopradionica.
91
240920
3400
koje ne bi inače vidjeli na
tradicionalnim inženjerskim radionicama.
04:17
Now take a look at this employeezaposlenik reportizvješće

92
245280

Sada pogledajte ove izvještaje zaposlenih

04:23
WomenŽene make up only 19 percentposto

93

04:27
And underrepresentedpodzastupljene minoritiesmanjine

94

I zastupnici manjina
čine samo 4 posto.
04:31
This statisticstatistički mightmoć look familiarupoznat
95
259440
2055
Ova statistika možda zvuči poznato
04:33
if you walkedhodao into
a highvisok schoolškola roboticsRobotika clubklub,
96
261519
3537
ako ste ušli u klub
za robotiku u srednjoj školi,
04:37
or a collegekoledž engineeringinženjering classklasa.
97
265080
1960
ili studij inženjerstva.
04:39
Now, there's a wideširok varietyraznolikost of problemsproblemi
98
267720
4296
Sada, tu je široki izbor problema
04:44
that contributedoprinijeti to the lacknedostatak of diversityraznovrsnost
in the technologytehnologija forcesila.
99
272040
4376
koji pridonose manjku
raznolikosti u tehnološkoj sili.
04:48
PerhapsMožda one solutionriješenje could be
100
276440
2056
Možda jedno od rješenja može biti
04:50
to introducepredstaviti technologytehnologija to studentsstudenti
throughkroz creativekreativan projectsprojekti.
101
278520
4480
da predstavimo tehnologiju studentima
kroz kreativne projekte.
04:55
I'm not sayingizreka that this
could solveriješiti everything,
102
283880
3136
Ne kazem da bi to moglo rješiti sve,
04:59
but it could introducepredstaviti technologytehnologija
103
287040
3176
ali moglo bi predstaviti tehnologiju
05:02
to people who originallyizvorno
wouldn'tne bi be interestedzainteresiran in it
104
290240
2656
ljudima koji na prvu ne bi
bili zainteresirani za to
05:04
because of how it has been
portrayedprikazan and taughtučio in schoolškola.
105
292920
2920
zbog toga kako je tehnologija
prikazana i učena u školama.
05:08
So how do we startpočetak to changepromijeniti
the perceptionpercepcija of technologytehnologija?
106
296760
5136
Kako početi mijenjati
mišljenje o tehnologiji?
05:13
MostVećina studentsstudenti think
that it's boringdosadan or unwelcomingunwelcoming,
107
301920
4616
Većina studenta misli da
je dosadna i negostoljubiva,
05:18
so I have always designedkonstruiran projectsprojekti
followingsljedeći threetri principlesprincipi.
108
306560
3776
uvijek sam dizajnirala projekte
slijedeći tri načela.
05:22
First is havingima a lownizak floorkat,
109
310360
2496
Prvo je imati nizak pod,
05:24
and that meanssredstva this projectprojekt
is easylako to get startedpočeo.
110
312880
3080
a to bi značilo da je ovaj
projekt lagan za započeti.
05:29
So take a look at this tutorialudžbenik.
111
317080
2776
Pogledaj te ovaj poučni video.
05:31
The first projectprojekt
we askedpitao studentsstudenti to learnnaučiti
112
319880
2096
Prvi projekat koji smo
tražili da nauče
05:34
is to make a circuitstrujni krug on paperpapir.
113
322000
2096
jest da naprave strujni krug na papiru.
05:36
As you can see, it doesn't
take very long to learnnaučiti,
114
324120
2496
Kao što vidite, ne uzima
puno vremena da naučite,
05:38
and it's prettyprilično easylako even for beginnerspočetnike.
115
326640
2320
i poprilično je jednostavno čak i za početnike.
05:41
And havingima a lownizak floorkat alsotakođer meanssredstva
that we're removinguklanjanje the financialfinancijska barrierprepreka
116
329800
4616
Imati nizak pod također znači
da smo uklonili financijsku barijeru
05:46
that preventssprječava people
from completingzavršetak rada a projectprojekt.
117
334440
3016
koja spriječava ljude da završe projekte.
05:49
So with paperpapir, copperbakar tapetraka,
lightbulbžarulja and a batterybaterija,
118
337480
3856
Tako da papirom, bakrenom vrpcom,
žaruljom i baterijom,
05:53
people can completepotpun this projectprojekt
for underpod a dollardolar.
119
341360
3160

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Fawn Qiu - Technologist
Fawn Qiu is a multi-disciplinary technologist who introduces the creative side of engineering through playful projects.

Why you should listen

When Qiu managed product development in the technology industry, she noticed a significant lack of women and minorities in her company, so she began to experiment with introducing engineering to people in a more creative and accessible way. From costumes that blink to robots that move to a physical version of the popular app Flappy Bird, these projects engaged people from diverse backgrounds, especially women and minorities. As a result, she founded Make Anything, an organization that empowers people from all technological backgrounds through creative technology workshops.

Qiu was a former research assistant at the MIT Media Lab. She has also developed and launched several mobile applications at major technology companies. Her interactive art installations have been featured in festivals and galleries around the world. She holds a Bachelor’s Degree from The University of Pennsylvania and a Master’s Degree from Harvard Graduate School of Education.
