Georgia Tech VIP Team
About
We are comprised of several teams, made up of both undergraduate and graduate students, all working on different projects to solve global development issues. These solutions include: economic technologies for rural farmers, nutrition and farming engineering, vulnerability analyses, and accessible healthcare technology. We value human-centered design and co-creating with communities to ensure that our technology solutions are sustainable. We recently merged with the Tech4Wildlife VIP which has focused on technological interventions to solve complex animal conservation issues. Tech4Wildlife projects center around human-wildlife interactions and using indigenous methods to solve these issues. A list and descriptions of ongoing projects can be found on our website. For more information about this VIP and the course goals and learning outcomes please view the Course Syllabus. Focus on Human Centered Design to develop, build, and deploy sustainable solutions in challenging environments. Human Centered Design is focusing on involving the human perspective in all steps of problems solving. The problems the teams are working to solve is addressing health outcomes, nutrition, and addressing general living conditions in developing nations and resource-limited environments utilizing key technologies. A list of current, ongoing, and past projects can be found on the Project Slides.
