과제를 구상하는 일을 합니다.
and high school students,
that are pretty unexpected.
from problems in my daily life.
주로 아이디어를 얻습니다.
to go to a comic convention,
필요한 적이 있었어요.
쓰고 싶지는 않았죠.
because my favorite mobile game,
충격을 받은 적이 있는데요.
or never play Flappy Bird again.
게임을 포기할 것이냐 선택해야 했죠.
that made sense to me.
방법을 선택했습니다.
taken off the app store.
일이 없도록 말이죠.
were also pretty addicted to the game,
중독된 애들도 있어서
just as infuriating as the original game.
짜증난다고 하더라고요.
of this project online,
인터넷에 공개했더니
in just a few days.
2백만 건이 넘었죠.
are people's comments.
남긴 댓글이었어요.
wanted to make it their own,
만드는 법을 알려달라고 하더군요.
that through a creative project,
창조적인 프로젝트를 통해
있다는 점이었습니다.
in our classroom
각자의 게임 상자를
in engineering and programming.
새로운 개념을 배울 수 있었습니다.
so they could finish the game as well.
게임도 끝까지 성공했죠.
engineering projects to teach students.
교육법에 대해 고민중이었습니다.
from a standard technology kit.
로봇을 만들도록 해봤습니다.
a lot of them seemed bored.
지루해 하는 것 같았어요.
started taking pieces of paper
로봇을 장식하기 시작했습니다.
수업에 흥미를 갖기 시작했죠.
more interested in the project.
for more creative ways
기술에 대해 소개할 수 있는
찾기 시작했습니다.
available in school
활용하는 대부분의 제작부품 세트들은
that you can't customize.
플라스틱 부품으로 되어 있고
they're all very expensive,
세트당 가격이 수백 달러에 달하죠.
for most classroom budgets.
감당할 수 없는 금액입니다.
제가 직접 만들기로 했습니다.
with those since we were kids,
가지고 놀던 재료이고
집에서 쉽게 구할 수 있으니까요.
anywhere around the house.
can create a light-up creature
만드는 것이었습니다.
each other in classrooms,
and discussing the project.
토론하기도 했습니다.
their own creativity into the project.
담을 수 있다는 것이죠.
more engineering projects
these workshops outside of school
지역 공동체로 옮기기 시작했죠.
from very diverse backgrounds
작업실로 찾아오기 시작했습니다.
and minorities than I expected,
여성들과 소수자들이 많았습니다.
at a traditional engineering workshop.
보기 힘든 사람들이었죠.
at a major technology company in 2016.
2016년 보고서를 한번 살펴 볼까요.
of the technology workforce.
19%에 불과합니다.
make up only four percent.
단 4%를 차지하죠.
a high school robotics club,
대학의 공학 강의실만 봐도 그렇죠.
다양성을 저해하는
in the technology force.
through creative projects.
기술을 접하도록 하는 것입니다.
could solve everything,
해결하지는 못하겠지만
기술에 대해 알릴 수 있습니다.
wouldn't be interested in it
portrayed and taught in school.
무관심할 수 밖에 없기 때문이죠.
the perception of technology?
무엇부터 시작해야 할까요?
that it's boring or unwelcoming,
달갑지 않은 것으로 생각합니다.
following three principles.
다음의 세 가지 법칙을 따르죠.
is easy to get started.
we asked students to learn
공부하도록 시킨 것은
만드는 방법이었습니다.
take very long to learn,
많은 시간이 들지도 않고
that we're removing the financial barrier
과제를 끝마치지 못하게 하는
from completing a project.
의미이기도 합니다.
lightbulb and a battery,
전구와 건전지만으로
for under a dollar.
이 과제를 마칠 수 있죠.
is having a high ceiling.
천장을 높이는 것입니다.
a lot of room to grow,
constantly being challenged.
a light-up creature,
and microcontrollers,
제어 장치를 더하게 되고
to interact with its environment.
프로그래밍할 수 있습니다.
this project relevant to anyone.
과제를 만들어야 한다는 의미죠.
of using everyday materials;
바로 여기에 있습니다.
using paper and fabric.
쉽게 변형할 수 있죠.
좋아하지 않는 사람이라도
is about Justin Bieber,
주제는 저스틴 비버예요.
from getting caught by the LAPD --
장애물로 막는 거죠.
Yeah, but he's changing so --
그가 그렇게 변해버려서

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.
