Be clear about which accessibility aid (such a screen reader, magnifier or single switch input) *or* which perceptual concern (such as color blindness) your modifications are addressing.
Test out your app and identify any problems with completing that task. Write them up as UARS.

## 3. Fix the problem and record a video showing the improvement
*Note* If you did not get to use Automated testing, or need to be re-assessed on it, you can *also* generate automated UARs if your have something that works with automated testers.
## 3. Fix the problem
Once you have identified problems, it is time to fix them. The expectations here will depend partly on the details of the task you select (which must be instructor approved) but it needs to include at least two different areas of POUR (i.e. address issues with both percievability and operability) or otherwise demonstrate that you have not done something overly simple.

# Next Assignment (1/3)
1) Pick something you've implemented
- Prefarably interactive (some sort of web or app based user interface)
2) Pick a task to complete on it
Need to post *both of these* on Ed by Friday for approval
- Ideally do this before class
- We're trying to figure out whether we can spend any class time on this Friday, but don't count on it

5) Show it to a classmate
- They email us a description of what you showed them and what you fixed at {{site.staff_email}}

# Some key things to know about Laser Cutting

We're using a [Glowforge](https://glowforge.com/).
- It takes SVGs as input
- It can engrave, cut, etc
- We're providing plywood, 3mm thick [double check with calipers]

Software options
- Powerpoint: Can even [merge shapes](https://www.indezine.com/products/powerpoint/learn/shapes/2016/shape-union.html). Probably best for total beginners if you have it.
- [Adobe Illustrator](https://www.adobe.com/products/illustrator.html). Best for most tasks if you have it
- [AutoCAD](https://www.autodesk.com/products/autocad/overview?term=1-YEAR&tab=subscription) (free for students). Probably overkill
- [Inkscape](https://www.autodesk.com/products/autocad/overview?term=1-YEAR&tab=subscription) (free). Best free option

Engraving: Burns. Can do greyscale.

- Images. Make sure they're not too dark.
- Add in a drawing program after Tinkercad

# How we will create SVGS
First create a design in TinkerCAD (or other CAD software if you know it well)
- You should group everything together that is touching
- Place it carefully. The base plane will determine what is part of the final SVG
- We will not engrave during lab, it slows things down too much, but we may cuts
- Export it as SVG (demo)
- Include mm as units
- Re-export *with images emedded* if you add them
