Recent increase of eco-conscious trends and pleasure from Do It Yourself (DIY) activities have led to a surge in sales of package products bundling together clothing patterns and raw materials. However, a well-structured market system is yet to be established. We surveyed 460 women with sewing as a hobby who had purchased these DIY clothing pattern packages. The survey revealed that majority of respondents had their hobby for over five years. Choosing the right fabric to match clothing patterns presented a common challenge. Most participants owned a sewing machine and an overlocker, with price being the primary concern when purchasing a package. For guidance during the sewing process, participants preferred print materials featuring real-life images. Those with less sewing experience leaned towards video tutorials. Items of interest or those commonly created included blouses, shirts, and dresses. Desire for further learning in sewing and pattern-making was prominent, with a clear preference for online classes. Several strategies are recommended to enhance the appeal of DIY clothing package products, including broadening range of packages that incorporate fabric, offering supplementary educational resources to improve users' skills, implementing affordable pricing structures, supplying comprehensive creation guidelines, and making available design modification guides. These considerations could significantly boost customer satisfaction. This research intends to lay groundwork for understanding DIY clothing creation market, ultimately fostering production of highly desirable products. Insights of this study will prove instrumental in refining product development and devising effective marketing tactics, leading to a more rewarding consumer experience.

Dolls which were recognized as children's toys are recently also recognized as one of the cultural products of adult's hobby. Thus this research is about dolls' fashion and the possibility of their industrial expansion. Moreover, the object of the research is to develop and manufacture high quality fashion doll products in Korea which are mostly imported from foreign countries. The research studied the origin and the path of the development of fashion dolls with the history of clothing and special books for dolls. By organizing the character and the fashion of dolls' costumes, the research has a meaning for not only to make an academic approach of dolls' costumes which was insufficient in Korea but also to provide useful information to toy enterprises. The conclusion of this research is as followed. First, dolls have a lot of possibilities to be developed as a high value added cultural product industry by emerging from their children's toy image. Second, since costumes of dolls also have a trend, it is necessary to develop products with the trend to satisfy customer's willing. Third, organization of both the books about the dolls' costumes and the information for their DIY is urgently needed for the domestic fashion doll manias. Forth, the necessity to scheme the expansion of fancy industry has been raise by using dolls' characterization and fashion.

현재 4차 산업혁명이 사회에 던지는 화두는 다양하다. 첫째, 소프트웨어 중심 사회이다. 빅 데이터, 인공지능 기술 등이 다양한 분야와 결합하고 그 중심에는 소프트웨어가 있다. 앞으로 소프트웨어 교육이 필수적이고 강화되어야 할 이유다. 둘째, 생산과 소비가 결합된다는 것이다. 즉, 더 이상 소비자가 수동적인 소비자로만 남지 않으며, 획일화된 제품과 서비스에 흥미를 느끼지 않고, 소비자가 직접 자신이 구매할 제품 생산과 판매에 관여하는 '프로슈머(prosumer)' 필요한 물건을 직접 만드는 D.I.Y.(Do It Yourself), 3D 프린팅 등이 새로운 소비 방식을 대표한다[3]. 이에 메이커 운동이 떠오르고 있고, 메이커에 대한 관심이 커지고 있다. 우리나라는 2015 개정 교육과정을 통해 소프트웨어 교육을 강화했다. 초등학교에서는 5~6학년 실과 교과의 정보 관련 단원이 ICT활용 중심에서 소프트웨어 기초 소양 내용 중심으로 개편되었다[1]. 아직 교육과정이 시행되기 전이지만 선도학교나 연구학교를 통해 진행된 소프트웨어 교육을 보면 기능을 익히는 프로그래밍 교육이 주류를 이루고 있고, 이래서는 다양하고 창의적인 결과물을 도출할 수 없다. 이를 해결하기 위해서는 디자인 사고를 도입할 수 있다. 디자인 사고는 인간을 관찰하고 공감하여 소비자를 이해한 뒤, 다양한 대안을 찾는 확산적 사고와 주어진 상황에 최선의 방법을 찾는 수렴적 사고의 반복을 통하여 혁신적 결과물을 도출하는 창의적 문제 해결 방법 중 하나이다[5]. 따라서 본 연구에서는 초등학생들의 소프트웨어 교육을 위한 디자인 사고 기반 메이커 교육 프로그램을 개발하고자 한다.

Mobile robots are used for years as a valuable research and educational tool in form of available open-platform designs and Do-It-Yourself kits. Rapid development and costs reduction of Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAV) and ground based mobile robots in recent years allowed researchers to utilize them as an affordable research platform. Despite of recent developments in the area of ground and airborne robotics, only few examples of Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) platforms targeted for research purposes can be found. Aim of this paper is to present the development of open-design USV drone with integrated multi-level control hardware architecture. Proposed catamaran - type water surface drone enables direct control over wireless radio link, separate development of algorithms for optimal propulsion control, navigation and communication with the ground-based control station. Whole design is highly modular, where each component can be replaced or modified according to desired task, payload or environmental conditions. Developed USV is planned to be utilized as a part of the system for detection and identification of marine and lake waste. Cameras mounted to the USV would record sea or lake surfaces, and recorded video sequences and images would be processed by state-of-the-art computer vision and machine learning algorithms in order to identify and classify marine and lake waste.

The Generation Z (Gen-Z) consumer has a unique beauty-consuming behavior that is distinct from the previous generations. This study aims to identify the meaning of makeup rituals based on the theoretical framework of the ritual concept. In-depth interviews were conducted with fifteen females in their mid-teens to early 20s. The results showed that Gen-Z has different types of makeup ritual scripts for both ordinary days and special days, which are constantly being re-written and revised based on the experience accumulated. In addition, there are various types of ritual artifacts that play an important role in Gen-Z's makeup ritual, and that they provide psychological comfort and satisfaction. The importance of DIY (Do It Yourself), collecting, and independent brands is emphasized. The role of Gen-Z in the makeup ritual was expanding from a creator for her own ritual to a collaborator for peers' rituals, and sometimes the expansion goes beyond the direct relationships to virtual ones through SNS (Social Network Service). The Gen-Z cohort is found to be a member of beauty knowledge network through which they learn, share, and create the know-how and shopping skills.

In recent years, the maker culture has realized the concept of 'making' itself through the latest technology of high technology. It is rapidly spreading as a maker's movement by sharing the production methods and information of individuals through the Internet. Countries that are leading the makers' movement expect the maker's movement to be the driving force for new value creation and economic growth from the point of view of things and the Internet. We are developing various types of open IoT platforms that can register various Internet devices and services manufactured and developed through DIY and realize interoperable services. Typical open IoT platforms require specialized API analysis capabilities and difficult access to general users due to difficult platform registration conditions and procedures. In this paper, we try to construct an open IoT platform that can be operated as a real service by creating a simple Internet application device and service application from a general manufacturer's point of view.
