TECHNOMADA new lifestyle has become popular through the assistance of internet which allows people to work remotely from anywhere and only need to communi-cate and submit projects online. Some utilize such advantage of internet to ob-tain a job while living in an almost no-madic lifestyle. This group of people is called the Technomad.

THE BRIEF of this project is to: 1. Come up with a fictional technomad and design a spe-cific product that will assist his profession while he travels 2. Create a persona poster to help illustrate a clear idea of the technomad’s character and what he would carry throughout the journey.

male, single, 24taiwanesephotographer/blogger/event promoter

Based in Taiwan, Kuan-Hung travels around Asia shooting photos for events he is being hired to do. Known for his persistence of using only film photography for work,

many venues have come to appreciate the skill and effort in the photography and hire him for various events across from wedding to nightclubs. Aside from photo shoot-ing, he also designs flyers to help promoting events. Graduated with graphic design degree, Kuan-Hung also tries to earn extra income from freelance projects that are design related. Kuan-Hung likes simple and plain design, and he keeps it the same

way in his dressing and lifestyle, too. One distinctive image Kuan-Hung has is that he always carries a kaleidoscope with him. It is one of his sources for inspiration.

Considering Kuan-Hung’s nomadic lifestyle and his persistence with

films, a few PROBLEMS he may face while traveling:

+ arduous process for developing films

+ cumbersome equipment to carry around

+ need to find a new facility to process films every time he

moves to a new location

OBJECTIVES:

A portable product that helps Kuan-Hung ease the process of de-

veloping film while the product itself can be functional during travel.

SOLUTION:

BACKPACK + PORTABLE DARKROOM

1. Use it as a backpack to carry personal items

2. When in need, empty the backpack and put on the gloves

provided on both sides of the backpack and process the

films inside where it is completely light proof.

MBARA SCHOOL OVERCROWDING

In order to reduce water related hygiene and disease prob-lems in a small community of Mbara in northwest Kenya, Terry Hummerston (UK) and John Ywalasiwa (Kenya) founded the Wa-ter Projects. While the result was positive, the accomplishment has also brought up a new issue: school overcrowding. Many schools are facing lack of space and resources such as class-room supplies, textbooks, and most importantly, teachers, and this is causing the quality of education to decline. To address the new problem, Terry and John have reached design firms to ad-dress the overcrowding issue in the villages. And eventually the designs will be constructed by local craftsmen and field-tested in schools of Mbara.

An individual chalkboard writing device is being used in the class-room to answer questions. Stu-dents are sitting on the floor and using the devices where they have to bend down for writing.

PROBLEM/OPPORTUNITY

In a typical classroom at Mbara, when an instructor wants to get the assignment from the student who is sitting further, often times the instructor’s hand will have to run into another student’s head.

OBJECTIVES + increase engagement in the classroom

+ encourage small group discussion

+ improve student-student interaction

+ improve teacher-student interaction

King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table

The round table suggests equal status to encourag engagements.

Chinese Dinning Turntable

The dinning turntable in Chinese culture in contrast emphasizes a hierarchy. Main dishes are put on top of the turntable to share, but diners have to decide who gets to scoop the meal first, and it is to start with the elders to show respect. While one is scooping, others must wait patiently and take turns. It is a great product to educate children the proper dinning manner.

Chalkboard Surfacewith Notches for Turning

Marbles

CHALKBOARD TURNING TABLEThe design is to encourage interactions between students and teachers. The table has a chalkboard surface part that spins to promote the idea of sharing. Students can use it to share their creativity; teachers can use it to collect assignment as well as encouraging discussion in the classroom. It is also a great opportunity to educate students about proper manner on sharing and be patient on waiting others.

PRODUCTIONTaking the condition in Kenya into account, the production had to be built with low cost and

low energy techniques. The making of a radius 55cm ring and a 45cm circle required a self-

made compass for the router. A wood panel was attached to the center of the circle with

the router set at the other end at a desired radius, so the router could drill in a rotational

direction. When the base and the ring were finished, marbles were put inside beneath the

chalkboard to assist spinning.

Now draw, spin, and play!

What: an educational toy for the day care center

Who: preschool day care children, 3-5 years old

Where: Syracuse University South Campus

Problem/Opportunity:Each instructor takes care of around 10 children, and there were 50-60 children in the room at a time. When visited, the room was full of toys everywhere on the floor. Cabinets were provided but was not enough storage for all the toys.

DAY CARE TOY

The center part is suspended on the dowel, allowing it to stay upright when it

is rolled.

a mobile toy storage for bringing joy to the kids while they learn to put back toys after finished playing.
