I was quite nervous and panic, since most people sitting there are IT or multi-media students, while I come from communication. We watched a few video about prototype, and introduced MakeyMakey. During the discussion, we talked about our concepts on prototype. I see prototype as model or sample in the early stage of design, which aim to test and gain feedback from the testing.

Things to make a prototype could be anything we found! Pen, paper clip, books, cardboard...Prototypes are used when we want to evaluate a new design, and to enhance the design base on user or system analysis. I think prototyping is an important part on design. It helps us define the problem of the design...
