Students exploring the multi facets of Mobile Learning Devices. The question was posed- which device will be the learning device of the future- netbook, ipad or cell phone? Here they are exploring each in their beginnings of the research process. Can't wait for their results!
In recent decades, developments in software and hardware technologies have created dramatic shifts in design, manufacturing and research. Software technologies have facilitated automated process and new solutions for complex problems. Computation has also become a platform for creativity through generative art and design. New hardware platforms and digital fabrication technologies have similarly transformed manufacturing, offering more efficient production and mass customization. Such advances have helped catalyzed the maker-movement, democratizing design and maker culture. This influx of new capabilities to design, compute and fabricate like never before, has sparked a renewed interest in material performance.
We are now witnessing significant advances in active matter, 3D/4D Printing, materials science, synthetic biology, DNA nanotechnology and soft robotics, which have led to the convergence of software, hardware and material technologies and the growing field of programmable materials.
This conference was about the emerging field of active matter and programmable materials that bridges the worlds of art, science, engineering and design, demonstrating new perspectives for computation, transformation and dynamic material applications.
If over the past few decades we have experienced a software revolution, and more recently, a hardware revolution, this conference aims to discuss the premises, challenges and innovations brought by today’s materials revolution. We can now sense, compute, and actuate with materials alone, just as we could with software and hardware platforms previously. How does this shift influence materials research, and how does it shape the future of design, arts, and industrial applications? What tools and design processes do we need to advance, augment and invent new materials today? What are the key roles that industry, government, academic and public institutions can play in catalyzing the field of programmable materials?
This two-day conference consisted of a range of talks and lively discussion from leading researchers in materials science, art & design, synthetic biology and soft-robotics along with leaders from government, public institutions and industry.

On September 2, 2014 the Universities at Shady Grove (USG) hosted Congressman John K. Delaney and the Honorable Thomas E. Perez, United States Secretary of Labor, for a forum on the topic of workforce development entitled, “Preparing Today for Tomorrow’s Success.” In addition to Congressman Delaney and Secretary Perez, panelists included: Dr. DeRionne P. Pollard, President of Montgomery College; Mr. Diego Uriburu, Executive Director of Identity Inc.; and Mr. Patrick J. Caulfield, co-owner of Coakley & Williams Construction Inc. The panel discussion was moderated by USG’s Executive Director, Dr. Stewart Edelstein.

Aalto University School of Business, University of Tampere and UNU-WIDER in collaboration with the Nordic Network in Development Economics held the 2018 Nordic Conference on Development Economics on 11-12 June 2018 in Helsinki, Finland.
The conference bought together Nordic and international scholars for the exchange of ideas and discussion of recent results within theoretical and applied development economics research.

Not one of the several pictures of this series included our entire bodies. They were also all at an angle so I had to rotate the pictures 10-15 degrees. I am literally thinking of putting together a brief presentation on how to take good pictures to also deliver.
The Black-naped Oriole (Oriolus chinensis) is a striking bird characterized by its vivid yellow body and black markings around its eyes and nape, with a sharp, melodious call. Found across Southeast Asia, including Singapore, Malaysia, and parts of India, it inhabits forests, woodlands, and urban parks, often seen foraging in tall trees. A fruit and insect eater, this oriole is also known for its ability to adapt to different environments, including urban areas, and builds its distinctive hanging nest in the fork of tree branches.

This public forum, held on 28 November 2017, focused on findings and policy lessons stemming from recent research on inequality in Mozambique, with the ultimate aim of promoting innovative policies for inclusive growth.
The programme was build on research presented at the conference on poverty and inequality in Mozambique taking place on 27 November 2017.
This was inspired by Islamic veils. I liked how its integral to their culture and identity within society, yet covered their faces and sometimes their entire bodies.
Included is a found image of a veil that nearly meets the requirements of a burqa but is altered and is more of a fashion or artistic piece. It was the closest image I could find to what I wanted to accomplish.
Here are a couple designs and fabric sampling used to plan my veil. I chose a limited colour scheme and few materials to keep the design simple.

Sure, just get this ugly old building out of the way first. (er, sarcasm). Former United Artists Theater, with People Mover tracks in front.
This was the process of developing my domestic abuse logo. I initially sketched out a design before uploading it into Photoshop and adding colour. I documented my progress and explored the different methods of which I could improve further before applying the typography onto the arm. I developed the logo further, designing two final options, which I could then interchange throughout the project.
