1. Do not forget to write your Essay! (Deadline is coming Thursday)
2. Think about three topics you are interested in. For each topic think about a hand-tool that is related to it. A few examples:
   • I am interested in photography –> I would like to build a tool that holds my camera and applauds every time I take a picture.
   • I work for an environmental NGO –> I would like to develop a fertilisation hand-tool that helps me and my team to work on the fields in the mountains of my home country.
   • I love art and I am fascinated by robots –> I would like to build a crazy tool for people to charge their phones by shaking it.
3. Create a poster that visualises your three ideas
4. You will give a 5 minutes short overview about your ideas in class to receive everybodys feedback. One of those ideas will be realised in one or the other form by you over the coming semester.
