Team:Valencia UPV/Integrated Human
Introduction
Wellcome to integrated human práctices webpage. Here we will show you what we have done in human practices, how we have done to integrate it in Printeria and why we deserve this part to be a part of the gold medal.
Kano model is a famous quality design tool among engineers to include feedback in your inventions, we applied it to know what necessities were really important for users.
Several science and art experts were interviewed to improve Printeria through their vision.
Safety has influenced Printeria more than some people use to think.
Kano Model
What is Kano Model
Kano model is used to understand the importance of functions or features to a customer [1]. It is made up of three stages:
-
First stage
Here you present your project to an audience and then you ask for criticisms or improvements.
-
Second stage
With those critics that we call necessities you have to make a cuestionaire (REFENCIAR EL NUESTRO) doing a paired cuestions which are ¿How do you feel if (a necessity existed in your device)? and ¿How do you feel if (that necessity did no existed in your device)?.
-
Third stage
Once you have all the asnwers you have to complete a series of tables to conclude if that necessity is really important or not. If it is you should include it in your design because that will increase the satisfaction of the user.
Study case
Taking advantage of the fact that we went to MAG (Mustang Art Gallery) in Elche, Alicante to present our project in front of students and teachers, we decided to aplly this model demanding at the end of the presentation some improvements or critics that people considered improtant. The most important ones were included in the cuestionaire and then we send it to them to fill it. Here you cand download the survey with the results:
Once we had the answers, we filled the different table kano is composed to arrive a conclusion:
Expert dialogue
Una muy buena forma de enriquecer el proyecto mediante feed-back es hacerlo consultando a expertos en el tema de estudio como ya se ha hecho anteriormente en iGEM. Su opinión es realmente relevante por la reputación que les precede y eso aporta valor al producto. Por ello nos hemos propuesto contactar con artistas del mundo del Bioarte y científicos reputados para que critiquen nuestro proyecto.

European Research Night
The European Research Night is a wide-public event, promoted under the EU Programme Horizon 2020, whose objective is to to encourage the scientific/technical youth vocations and lay public interest to science. It involves research organizations, science museums and public organizations all around Europe.
Activity
As part of this event the City of Arts and Science, one of the biggest scientific and cultural leisure complexes in Europe, organized a complete program of free access activities, including interactive experiments, scientific monologues and researchers talks. We were invited to be part of this program to present Printeria to a wide range of interested people from all ages, who listened our speech with great interest.
UPV Welcome Fest
UPV_iGEM is part of the Design Factory Global Network. This is a network of universities innovation hubs all around the world, whose mission is to create change in the world of learning through passion-based culture and effective problem solving.
Activity
As part of the UPV Welcome Fest, a Design Factory Exhibition was organized in order to explain the diversity of projects being carried out by the Design Factory teams. There, we had the chance to show Printeria to all the university community and to explain the basic concepts of SynBio to those who didn't know about it.
