this is the link to the video i did for this project

Summary as in Social Media 4/14/14 Presentations.

Today's presentations were mostly about cars and it was really interesting to learn how there are many car brands that are unknown. Cars are a big thing that is represented in social  media, for example when we watch Superbowl ever year the commercials are sponsored most of the time by car companies like Infinity and Volkswagen. In today's presentations most of the cars were not well know but they had their name up there in the commercials and i think that they are represented a lot in the social media like in the picture above. Twitter arguably is the most used social site by people and the private corporations and the owners most of the time advertise their cars through social media because that's the place people visit the most and put updates.

Summary of the Presentations on 4/11/14

Most of the presentations were mainly about stadiums and sports organizations. There is not a word that will describe all of them but the closest ones would be building and sport arenas/stadiums. There were couple of baseball stadiums which had a lot of information about them, the structure and how it was build. Some professional baseball stadiums and college softball park of women's UK team. The arenas were very interesting specially the Rupp Arena, the presenter had a lot of information that i did not know about our arena and it was overall an awesome video. The second arena was the Miami Heat's Arena the American Airlines Arena, i learned many things from that presentation as well which related to Rupp Arena and how almost all arenas have the same structure. Finally the Emirates Stadium of Arsenal located in England, as a soccer player i thought this was a really good presentation to inform the students of the soccer stadiums. Overall all of the presentations were very informative and made me learn knew stuff that i did not know before. The presenters that made a video were more entertaining and kept my interest alive.

NCUR Experience Looking for Design Around You 4/5/14

Research Topic: Formulation and Long-Term Stability of Enzyme Layers for Bio-sensors

This two guys from Eastern Kentucky University are researching about Enzymes. It was not a big presentation but they explained me everything they were trying to find out about Human enzymes. Now somebody might wonder how enzymes are related or correlated with design, well this two guys took enzymes and put them in to three different atmospheres, one of them is room temperature, fridge, outside and any place with an unusual temperature. The way i connected the design ideas to this research topic is how the room can affect the changes on enzymes. If the room is very small and it's considered to be the regular room, the size of the room will eventually effect the results on enzymes and this is what the guy were looking for is how the different temperature and the size of a room will have the effect on human enzymes. As you can see the poster in the picture above has a big sign that says "chemistry" and their topic has a lot to do with chemistry which i related to the design ideas and how it will affect the results. I think that the size of the rooms will affect the results because not all the rooms are designed the same and they will have a significant effect of the enzymes. Overall it was a great learning process and meeting these two guys from the picture, it was awesome because they were very knowledgeable and i feel like they have a bright future ahead of them in this field. They told me that a company from Canada introduced them to this research topic and they are working for them.
