Thomas Harlin

Hello! My name is Thomas Harlin, I am currently a Junior Creative Tech Major with both business and entrepreneurship minors. This Semester, I took Advanced Prototyping, Robotics, and a planning class for our Norway Study Abroad over the summer!

Design Studio Table Extension


As we get further into the CRT Program, we tend to have more and more projects to juggle, and a table that just can't handle it. So, why not fix it? The Shelves and Legs are made of MDF on the Crawlbot, and the brackets were made with our Plasma Cutter.

HyperShades


Impossible Colors are colors that the Human Brain normally can't comprehend. With the Hypershades, your brain can be fooled into seeing an impossibly Vibrant Green or a Blue as dark as Black. Made for our Summer Norway Trip as a Musem Instilation.

DJ Pitchfork: The Sign


Who doesn't want a cool desktop sigh to show off your mad DJ Skills? Designed in Fusion 360, and made with our new Plasma Cutter. Sanded and Polished at 340 Grit, and ready to impress.

Geometric Campfire Stool


To practice our skills on our Crawlbot CNC, everyone in our class got to make their own customized campfire stool. For my design, I wanted to incorporate modern design language in a form that felt comfortable to sit on in front of a campfire S'Mores?

MIXI, by DJ Pitchfork


For this project, our performance was just as important as the device's. After we had created and coded our MIDI Control Board, we had to come up with a DJ Persona and create our own sick beats using our own MIXI. Please, hold the Applause.

Mighty Mouse


Our first project in Advanced Prototyping. After studying and critiquing many other mice, we were tasked with making our own out of clay, then transferring that model into Fusion 360, then finally 3D Printing it and finishing it with Bondo and paint.

Pop Art PCB | The Rockin' Record


In years past, Advanced Prototyping students got to pick any piece of media to transform into an interactive LED display. This got Zane in some legal trouble, so this year we got to select something from a copyright-free site to turn into some groovy art.

Heavy Metal


In CRT, we never really get breaks, just easier projects. For our "lull" week, we all made a simple 4 pannel story, and a lightbox to cast them from. My story is one of Family, Mental Health, and a Man Turning into a Pickel. Funniest Sh*t I've ever seen.

The Gamepad | The Beachcomber


For our final project is Advanced, we had to design an ergonomic Gamepad as well as code a game to play on it. My PCB was made with the user's hand placement in mind. My game centered around Barry, a beach bum trying to get out of his boring town.

What's Your Color?


"What's Your Color" is an interactive game based on the RGB color spectrum. It was made using 3 potentiometers to control each value, 2 strips of neopixels to track progress, a screen for instructions, and 1 additional LED that you actively control.

The SaniStation


For this project, we had to identify a problem-area around campus and set up a sensor to observe it. We chose the sanitization in D-Hall, as we felt in the age of COVID cleanliness was very important. http://www.hackberrylab.com/399/orange/home.php

The Hack-Helper


For our first project in the class, we had to make a remote and a web page to help the instructor track students' progress through assignments.
