  • AccessCORPS

    AccessCORPS will train students (and others) to systematically assess the accessibility of GT course materials, to determine any barriers a student with an impairment or disability or other challenge may face when taking the course. The AccessCORPS team members will then work with the course instructor(s) to reduce access barriers in the materials and other aspects of the course, while also...

  • ICEMAN

    The ICEMAN (Ice Management) Team addresses one of the core issues in existing sea-level rise and climate change predictive models – what is the correct glacial ice melting rate to use? Currently, the magnitudes of predicted sea level rise by different models can differ from each other by a factor of two...

  • Retrofuturistic Hardware: Music, Gaming and Computing

    Modern electronic devices are powerful but uninspiring; they are ubiquitous but ephemeral. We will design and fabricate devices for music production, gaming, and computing sparked by real-world designs from the past as well as fictional formulations of imagined futures. The black-and-white, utilitarian minimalism of modern laptops and cell phones that blight the aisles of Best Buy with boredom...

  • Surrogate Models for Urban Regeneration

    Conventional environmental simulation approaches in urban design are time-consuming and often incompatible with the fast-paced design processes. This project aims to revolutionize this outdated paradigm by developing surrogate models that accelerate simulations, thereby offering real-time feedback to urban decision-makers, such as architects, urban designers, and policymakers. Our goal is to...
