A student project for AHSE1500: Foundations of Business and Entrepreneurship (taught in Spring 2006) featuring an Olin College themed tradable card game. It consists of cards of students, professors, locations, and events.
This record contains the Final Report for the project and scanned images of all the cards in the game.
The Facebook-Olin SCOPE team built a platform that catalyzes the growth of an ecosystem around devices that document and share everyday interactions in the physical world. Facebook’s Open Graph allows people to record and share their online activities and interactions to their timeline through third-party apps such as Spotify and social newsreaders like the HuffPost Social Reader. However, the majority of a person’s interactions occur in the physical world, a domain that currently lacks a comprehensive means of seamless social-sharing. The Facebook-Olin SCOPE team imagined, prototyped, and fostered excitement around a compelling hardware device that integrates with Facebook’s Open Graph API (Application Programming Interface). The team then designed a hardware platform that developers and other third-parties were excited to build upon. The final stage of the process involved the release and marketing of this platform in order to inspire and spur interest of hardware applications connected to the Open Graph.
The Olin Raytheon/WHOI SCOPE team is assisting WHOI in the buoy design effort by writing software tools for managing the energy budget of a deployed buoy. Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI) scientists are constructing buoys for the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI), an NSF funded program that will construct a network of buoys for monitoring physical, chemical, geological, and biological variables in the ocean and on the sea floor. The buoys in development for the OOI by WHOI will be expected to operate for 25 years with annual maintenance. Power for an array of reprogrammable sensors will be dependent on a combination of solar and wind power generation and an on-board fuel cell replenished during the annual maintenance.
