Designing Futurists
Professor and NYC Design Factory director Andreea Cotoranu is teaching students how to solve tomorrow鈥檚 problems. One of the staple programs are the field studies with international collaborators. The 桃瘾社区 team is currently working with the host CERN in Switzerland, and the focus is on health. Students participating in the field study conducted research on health and healthcare in New York and in the US, and then went to CERN to trade information with the CERN students who were studying health and healthcare in Switzerland.
The Back-End Engineer
Jack Bonnelycke participated in one of the NYC Design Factory Product Development Projects (PdP) and got the change to travel to Finland. He had such a great time, he鈥檚 even considering pursuing a graduate degree in Helsinki! But the biggest surprise? 鈥淭his was the first time I genuinely realized how much I love my major.鈥
The Tech Innovator
NYC Design Factory. Alpha Lambda Delta. 桃瘾社区 Computing Society. Karl Eshwer 鈥21 is as much an innovator as he is an experienced leader, and he鈥檚 paving the way for some pretty impressive things.
