Everyone needs a retirement, who doesn't? Even when one used to be an everyday worker, he/she would be reluctant to return to work after retirement. Our old friend, Bob - a notorious frost-fright lamp, refused to return for service when summoned. To give him some persuasion, we had to work really hard to keep him nice and warm... Bob starts panicking immediately after being woken up, then he starts to feel more comfortable as he is getting a hug. (a huge one)

"Save energy and prevent fire accidents!" But what if the "smart socket" you brought home is a revenger? After being inserted and drained of power, the socket decides to "protest" instead of silence. When the socket feels "abused", if the "abuser" is nearby, it makes noise and makes your energy use a nightmare.

Quality work can’t be rushed- Flow State is an invitation to slow down, trust the process, and reconsider what you ask of others.

A speculative design instrument that allows the user to feel the electromagnetic signals that are given off by power and wireless communications technology.

Integrate sensing into circuits and build familiarity with conditional logic and if statements

Learn to make LEDs blink and simple connected internet appliance.

Learn how to control LEDs and other electrical output devices over the web with the Particle Argon platform

What if we knew how Artificial Intelligence on the internet perceived us? This project is a part of the Haunted Smart House Exhibit. It is hidden within the bathroom.

Solid message reflects on how we receive and send messages, retrieves the old-fashioned way of sending messages and finds alternatives for the fast-paced message sending and receiving in social media. By allowing the end user to send only one message a day and physically prints the message out, we seek more deliberate, mindful ways of communicating.

From our project, we plan to design a connection between kids and parents. Our concept is implementing the actions, imaging, or other soft communications instead of sounds. We also plan to make this subtle communication spooky and deliver care for people.

Alexa’s multiple personality disorder has more complex implications than we think..

Working with Inputs and Sensors

Learning about inputs, sensors and conditional logic for creating Outputs

Making an LED blink & Making a connected LED

• Deploy a Particle Argon powered code project to a microcontroller for blinking LED with differing delays.

Objective: Get familiar with Particle & LED Connections

Create unexplainable phenomenon using IoT.

Our main objective is to create a mechanism that auto-adjusts the volume of a set of earphones to its surroundings. During this process, we would like to create a device that can be attached to already-made earphones. After creating a device that adjusts sound we will have to connect this to some sort of audio output and test if this product is receptive to all noises or just specific sounds.

"Radiant Topologies" aims to explore the interplay between light, space and form to introduce a sense of tranquillity and mindfulness the visitors of Pittsburgh International Airport. Getting its inspiration from the topography of the city, the installation will welcome or bid godspeed to the spectators hanging down the dome of the Airside Terminal.

A small electric walking robot based on usage of Jansen's linkage.
