FUTURE ENVIROMENT

new york

WHAT DO YOU THINK THE ENVIRONMENT WILL BE  LIKE IN THAT PLACE? 

I think the environment in the future will be a lot hotter. In the future I feel like the summers are going to be a lot warmer and tropical. Whilst, the winters are very cold and dark. 

WHAT WOULD YOU NEED TO MAKE LIFE HABITABLE?

To make life Habitable I feel like your gonna need either some way to shade new york from the sun. Or, create a warming device that can help you stay warm in the winter, especially when going outside.

FUTURE ENVIRONMENT 


oregon

WHAT DO YOU THINK THE ENVIRONMENT WILL BE  LIKE IN THAT PLACE?

Oregon is known to have a pretty mild climate, it's wet in the winter, and dry in the summer. In the future, I feel like it's gonna be really hot in the summer. Just like new york above it's gonna be HOTTT.

WHAT WOULD YOU NEED TO MAKE LIFE HABITABLE?

To make life habitable I think you would need some intense sun protection. We could create sort of like a globe or sphere around the state, that could sorta work as like a shutter. It could shut the heat out.

FUTURE ENVIRONMENT 

florida

WHAT DO YOU THINK THE ENVIRONMENT WILL BE  LIKE IN THAT PLACE?

I think the environment is going to have pretty harsh winters, since it usually goes below 32 degrees. People are going to be mostly inside blasting the heaters. Although, in the summers I predict it's going to be pretty hot. Florida is known for being a sunshine state, sooo probably going to be burning.

WHAT WOULD YOU NEED TO MAKE LIFE HABITABLE?

Probably a heater or a big black puffer jacket even. Live indoors mostly bc it's cold outside. Have a device that warms you up sorta like a warm blanket but coat version.

 san francisco

 WHAT DO YOU THINK THE ENVIRONMENT WILL BE  LIKE IN THAT PLACE?

San Francisco has a pretty warm summer, which means I think in the future it's going to be quite hot. Although in san francisco earthquakes are quite common. In the future the earthquake could maybe be bumped up, and more dangerous. 

WHAT WOULD YOU NEED TO MAKE LIFE HABITABLE?

To make life habitable you would need earthquake proof houses, and a sort of protection device. Maybe like a huge house sized air bag.

FUTURE ENVIRONMENT

Studio Introduction

Joselyn McDonald

Wearable technology is increasingly prevalent. The Apple Watch lets you monitor your daily fitness, read emails, summon Siri, and make and receive phone calls from your wrist. Clothes and bags made of flexible solar panels, such as Voltaic System’s Solar Backpack, power up your electronics and charge them as you go. Too many harmful invisible particles in the air? No problem, Baubles, and Bangles is a futuristic personal air purifier worn on the wrist that will cleanse the air. Wearable technology even includes gaming techniques to promote better health, such as the Valedo Back Therapy product designed to help people with lower back pain. In the healthcare industry, wearable technology is being used to overcome big problems, and all around the world, designers are creating smart and responsive apparel, accessories, fitness wear, and assistive devices to enhance people’s everyday life. Are you ready to make the next breakthrough product in health-focused wearable tech?

In this Studio, students will design and develop health-related wearable technology products focusing on physical, mental, or environmental wearable health interventions. Using innovative approaches, materials, and technologies, students will learn how to design wearable tech products that will augment and improve the capabilities of themselves or someone they know. After exploring myriad medical and/or environmental challenges, students will design, build and potentially program wearable tech products from the ground up, test them, and see how their products perform. Through this process, students will learn sketching techniques and prototyping processes, all while being exposed to the iterative design process. Students will learn how to harness simple 'mechanical' systems to add interactivity to their projects. In the end, students will learn the design and engineering skills needed to bring their vision to reality!

How to use the Media Hub

Combine Video, Gifs, and Images and text, all in one post!

In this assignment, you will make your first post using the NuVu Studio Platform. After reviewing this tutorial, go to the "Responses" tab at the top of this page and make your first post. Make sure to include images, video, and writing to complete the assignment. 

Deliverable

Make your first multi-media post on the platform. 

If this is your first time logging onto the platform follow the quick guide below and then move on to the next activity (the second post on this page "Make Your First Post"). 

STEP 1: In the top-right corner, click the word "login." 

STEP 2: When the black menu appears, click "reset password," and enter your school email address, and then click "Send Password Reset Link."


STEP 3: Check your email account for an email from NuVu. Be sure to check your junk email folder as well if you don't see the email in your inbox. Follow the instructions in the email to reset your password.

STEP 4: You should now see your name in the top right corner. Success! (your screen will look slightly different than mine).
