GVU Prototyping Lab

Lab:

Come see the tools that we use to create one-of-a-kind research prototypes. We have everything from laser cutters and 3D printers to table saws and soldering irons, and we use them to create many of the custom electronics, cases, and wearable prototypes you see in our demos. Tours will be held once every hour. Stop by the elevator to the basement or ask the folks at the registration desk if you need help finding us!

Social Media in Cuba: Who is speaking? vs. Who is listening?

Lab:

Electronic Learning Communities

Social Media is changing our world. Traditional narratives paint a picture of many-to-many democratization of information--making ideas, opinions, education, and knowledge available to many people in many places at any time. This research examines whether this is actually the case, especially in countries with a totalitarian government. Through an interview-based study of Cuban participants on social media, this project explores both the limitations and opportunities of cyber networks as tools for individuals to create collaborative narratives and affect social change.

Lab:
