Human Dynamics
The rapid progress of urbanization on earth leads to modern cities, which provide people with a comfortable life; but urbanization is followed by big challenges, such as traffic jams, increasing population, energy consumption, and pollution. Urban computing is emerging as a concept where every sensor, device, person, vehicle, building, and street in the urban areas can be used as a component to probe city dynamics to further enable city-wide computing for coping with these challenges. |

Lifelong Kindergarten
Media Lab alumna Ayah Bdeir will discuss how she started littleBits, an open-source kit of electronic modules that snap together with magnets for prototyping and play. Bdeir will talk about the LittleBits technical platform, an entirely analog, modular, "object-oriented" hardware platform. On the heels of her |

Jennifer A. Lewis The ability to pattern functional materials in planar and three-dimensional forms is of critical importance for several emerging applications, including energy harvesting, self-healing materials, and tissue engineering scaffolds. Direct-write assembly enables one to rapidly design and fabricate materials in arbitrary shapes without the need for expensive tooling, dies, or lithographic masks. |
