Accessbility Improvement Recommendations
Sat Oct 27, 2018 Oakland 1-day Build
- Keep the build phase concept. It works.
- Keep quality control checks. It works.
- Need an identification survey: what type of xp are they coming with?
- Need an exit survey.
- Reduce the number of questions on a per-build phase. Have this be a verbal check-in. And input it on their behalf.
- Switch to having a more in-depth module-based survey.
- Add an "Newbie Intervention" motivation convo. Folks paralyzed by "I don't know what I don't know" -- need to explicitly dispel this myth. If you can explain it, then you know it. There's not "more to it" ... those are different skills.
- Attempt to go WITHOUT doing an in-person demo? to speed up the process. Let there be videos instead, and just a quick overview. People kinda hate reading. Try this just for the axis build and see how it goes.
- Enforce opening up the manual at your workstation. Better setup workstations. folks had tendency to "just go for it" and not read at all or use reference material at all.
- add Build Phases for the Extruder, especially QC to prevent issues like in this build.
- add a "time it" component to the workflow
Observations
Sat Oct 27, 2018 Oakland 1-day Build
Deidre
- Deidre left fter 4 hours
- they were tired in the mornign to start
- tried to stay longer, waiting for a 2nd wind
- was super motivated, but couldn't go on.
- came from sacramento, pretty far away
- had shifting interests... may buy other makery things first
- came to investigate the 3d printer
- still a little unclear about what people would want to do with a 3d printer
Matthew
Feelings
Sat Oct 27, 2018 Oakland 1-day Build
- I have mixed feelings about Deirdre's xp. They could have had a better xp I believe.
- I have good feelings about Matthew's xp. Probably close to as good as it gets given circumstances.
