Systems Thinking

(1)A system is a process in which objects interact with each other to complete a certain goal. A subsystem is a system part of a system, but sometimes, by itself, is not a system, since it can't function independently. (2)It interacts with its individual parts or subsystems to complete a certain task. Sometimes the individual parts are made up of groups of people, and sometimes it is machinery.
(3)Computers and programming or coding languages are a system and subsystem respectively. The computer parts work together to function and the languages also function using other subsystems of the computer and of the language itself. All of the computer languages can be facilitated to learn once the dynamics of a system are applied. Overall, the subject of computer science is just learning and applying a system.

Name Card-Reflect

This experience of making name cards has its many values. The most enjoyable part is actually creating the product, because it sparks creativity and artistic capabilities, and you get new ideas along the way. Though, there were this projects ups, there were also their downs, especially the time concern and the define step; it makes you cut down some of the ideas due to time. The main improvement for this project is to add an extra day.

Name Card-Ideate

The colors of the sky are going to be blue, purple, and orange for favorite colors, and favorite element is represented by purple auroras. Purple auroras only show up when Nitrogen gas is excited. There is a wolf sitting on a rock howling at a moon made of pizza(the favorite microwaveable food) with cotton candy in an ice cream cone, representing my favorite ice cream flavor. There is pepperoni on the pizza, which I chose as my favorite meat

Name Card-Define

The toughest obstacles of making the name card is to implement the meat and some of the other bizarre things that Anthony wants to know about me. Also, choosing between certain options for my favorites will be tough

Design Thinking Process

Empathize: Receive a product request from a customer. Take their ideas, requirements, and restrictions.

Define: Find a way to complete the requirements. Maybe, cut down a few less important requirements.

Ideate: Integrate the previous two steps and formulate an idea for the product. Make multiple designs and choose the best.

Empathize: See if the ideas match the requirements and if the requirements that were possibly removed was acceptable. If the idea is not acceptable go back to "Define" and start again, if not move on.

Prototype: Create a test model of the product and integrate the ideas in

Empathize...again: Ask if the product prototype meet the requirements, ideas, and goals of the customer. If the prototype isn't successful, try again, but if it is, move onto the next step.

Test: Give the model to a few people and test if the prototype is fit for others. If it isn't fit try again.

Release: Congratulations, you have launched your product! Probably Alpha or Beta phase for feedback

Final Release: Release to world and have feedback
