The purpose of this project is to conduct an applied research project around a particular emerging technology or innovative concept that interests me. This project will be comprised of six keys milestones and will help me by developing skills around:

  • Learning how to investigate and experiment with emerging technologies that are interest me
    • create a proof of concept demonstration of something I can physically build or;
    • write a research report about the process
  • Gaining experience developing and presenting an elevator pitch that will help hone my ability to be concise and summarize my project ideas effectively
  • Develop skills to evaluate various technologies, discover new tools (ie: CRAAP test) to assist with evaluation process
  • Creating a physical proof of concept demonstration using the technology
  • Learning how to create a promotional video
  • Augmenting my presentation skills, exposure to potential co-op or industry partners via showcase opportunity
