Boundlessly Creative: Kinesiology Grad Students Take Design Prize
U-M students cross disciplines in intense three-day competition
From November 4-6, ArtsEngine — a North Campus initiative promoting interdisciplinary creative work — posed a student design challenge worthy of the next generation of 21st century innovators. The challenge: Create teams that include students from at least 3 different University schools and colleges (2 from North Campus), limit them to working with reused materials, give them a budget of $50 and then start the clock for a 42-hour competition...
...Top prize went to a team composed of engineering graduate students Suenghun Baek, Stephanie Huang and Roberto Minguez; neuroscience graduate student Ramses Alcaide; and Art & Design graduate student Jessica Goldberg. Their project combined scrap pieces of acrylic and non-toxic medical waste to create a pair of transparent end tables. To emphasize the biological sources for their materials, the team added LED lights to make the tables appear to be breathing through the medical material.
Stephanie Huang and Ramses Alcaide are members of Dr. Dan Ferris's Human Neuromechanics Laboratory.
