The Prototyping Labs are unique because they feature high quality, integrated instruction and crew services alongside the resources found in more traditional shops. UW students in the MSTI program have access to a wide variety of high quality tools and technologies (like the 4x8 #CNC router table shown here), but also a crew of people dedicated to both helping with tool questions and collaboratively working through design challenges.

Members of the GIX Consortium gathered Friday to mark the start of a new project year working with @uofwa students in the MS in Technology Innovation program. Over the next six months these interdisciplinary student and industry Launch Project teams will create high-impact technology solutions to address societal challenges in the areas of health, environment, and more. Past projects have included a system for monitoring plastic waste in waterways, a drone that aids in search-and-rescue activities, ear infection sensing earbuds, and more. This year, GIX welcomes returning members @Microsoft, @tmobile , and @vulcaninc as well as new partners @fetchrobotics and Kinova. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (@noaa ) and Washington Department of Natural Resources (Wildfires Division- @washdnr ) will bring new projects, expertise, and mentors.

Launch Project! 🚀 Family caregivers experience high amounts of stress and other mental health challenges due to their responsibilities. Unfortunately, they often don’t have access to credible resources and even feel guilty taking time to care for themselves. Working with Dr. Weichao Yuwen from School of Nursing & Healthcare Leadership, three @uofwa MSTI students developed a virtual therapy chatbot that helps family caregivers of people with chronic conditions access self-care tools more conveniently and flexibly, leading to a long-term positive impact on improving the health outcomes of both caregivers and those being cared for.

Launch Project! 🚀 With the increase of connected Internet of Things devices, the demand for reliable and fast testing and certification is skyrocketing. Working in partnership with @tmobile @techexperience , five #MSTI students created an IoT self-service certification toolkit that gives developers the ability to pre-test their hardware and software for compatibility on the T-Mobile network. This saves both parties time (an estimated 25%), increases quality (up 40% estimated), and gives developers the ability to more easily test their devices in-progress.

Launch Project! 🚀 Did you know that drones can be a vital tool for search and rescue operations? Currently, pilots are facing challenges that require them to split their concentration between flying the drone and scanning the video feed on small screens. Working with T-Mobile @techexperience , five students in the @uofwa MSTI program developed 5G-connected drones that give search and rescue pilots powerful new tools to save lives.
