# Getting Started

* This project has spawned from brainstorming for and working with Professor [Christy Spackman](https://search.asu.edu/profile/3344009)'s *Sense of Belonging* installation at ASU. I have also received guidance from Professor [Byron Lahey](https://search.asu.edu/profile/262186) and [Assegid Kidane](https://search.asu.edu/profile/215415) being granted their electronic lab resources.

The documentation is on a rather quirky attempt to realize a configurable, localized heating of fabrication material. Therefore, it is diverted away from conventional practice of simple making of a heater or a cooler for fabrication purposes. This is enforced by the choice of material as well—which in this case—is a *sugar glass*. That's right; it is a documentation on:

**1. Making of edible glass,** 

**2. Exploring the phase changes,** 

**3. Realizing the textural and tactile transitions.** 

Concepts to cover:
