Our Active Learning Classroom (ALC) is designed to support interactive and technology enhanced learning. It serves as an incubation space where faculty can implement and assess new teaching and learning ideas.
The classroom is capable of numerous configurations; with computer stations at each table and multiple wall-mounted screens. The purpose of the ALC is to offer active, engaged teaching and learning experiences in a collaborative environment.
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.

The 96th Medical Group’s moulage team member puts the finishing touches on a created bullet wound prior to the active shooter exercise at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., April 11. The goal of the exercise was to evaluate people’s knowledge and response at the active shooter location and select lockdown locations. (U.S. Air Force photo/Samuel King Jr.)
Hey everyone! I truly hope your Father's Day weekend will be wonderfully memorable! It's the weekend that I wait for all year, when hot air balloons fill the local air during my town's Balloon Festival!!! A sudden rainstorm swept the area this afternoon but hopefully the first night's glow event will still be able to take place...it's clearing up pretty well now and I'll be heading to the field shortly! The weather for the weekend looks good...I'll be there everytime the balloons are active! To kick off the Father's Day/ Balloon Festival weekend, I've added this smile making shot from last year...
Have a great weekend!
Taken for Active Assignment Weekly: Sept. 5-12 Backlighting
"I thought this week we could try backlighting. Backlighting refers to the process of illuminating the subject from the back. Anything from translucent flowers and foliage, to glowing subjects to silhouettes. It doesn't matter what type lighting (natural or artificial) or what type of subject you use, as long as it is lit from behind."
It's been too long since I had a go at an active assignment! I was determined to make time today, but as were catching the tail end of hurricane Katia over here I decided to stick to an inside shot. I love my little mazeball, so I decided to take a pic of him!The hardest part was turning my back room into a backlit studio, which I managed by partially closing the curtains and placing the ball on a stool, on top of a sheet of white A4 paper. et voila! Basic brightness/contrast adjustments to get the effect I was looking for, as well as some sharpening.

-The Mother looked up at the beautiful strong tree that stood beside her, silhoutted against a crimson sunset.
"oh no"said the mother "you are you, and you are better than I ever dreamed."
"And if I am a Mother too?" said the daughter
"You will always-"
"Yes, I will always, forever and always be your Daughter."
"This is good," said the Mother.
"And your friend," added the Daughter.
"Ah!" said the Mother. "A friend! That's what I have always wanted."
"A HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL, WHETER YOU ARE A MOTHER, WAITING TO BE A MOTHER, OR ARE CELEBRATING YOUR MOTHER TODAY" :)
A scarily busy - and active - Saturday. Megan and I went out for a run whilst Eli went to football, and then we all went swimming (the Tooting Leisure Centre pool is not one we'll be rushing back to) and then home for lunch and a quick play in the garden with the macro lens, before I headed off to a proper paid photography job - a newborn shoot, which was lovely but thankfully no longer makes me broody - and then back to meet the others at soft play for a 4th birthday party.
Active learning means using your skills to help the community by conducting an environmental survey ...

Active Assignment Weekly: 8-15 Jan 2018: Love is in the Air
"This challenge is all about showing the spirit of love that crosses all ages and genders.
Submit photos which demonstrate what love means to you! It can be the love for a Husband/ Wife, Friends, Children, Parents, Family and even Pets."
There is a line in John Paul Young's song .... Love is in the air in the whisper of the tree .... A bit noisy, and I wanted to capture the movement in the tree but there wasn't enough wind.
An active shooter exercise was held on May 28 at the Camp Zama Community Activity Center. All buildings on the Camp Zama and Sagamihara Family Housing Area installations, gates and facilities were closed as part of the exercise. (U.S. Army photos by Yuichi Imada)
