- Prefers street bike- Afternoon rides- Color is important- No accessories – keep it
simple- Have a lot of reflectors
and lights
“I want a no nonsense bike. With a clean design!”
- Prefers street bike- Rides for necessity - From Brazil- Added fenders- Horn, lights, and built in
lock
“I ride when I have to because I don’t have a car.”
- No preference- Afternoon rides- Daylight is important- Storage, saddle bags- Have better breaking

The rear l ights are designed to give a seemingly larger profi le , protecting the quad-cycle and its passenger. Similar to phasmids, insects in nature that imitate their surroundings, the quad-cycle can protect itself at night by confusing its predator…the automobile .

DURABLE ADAPTIVE CAMERA
Using existing mirrorless camera technology, design a camera for 5 years in the future
DURABILITY STABILITY PORTABILITY
CONSUMER NEEDS
ADAPTABILITYBy focusing on the available space that is created when removing the clunky components of a traditional DSLR, the body becomes smaller and opens up the possibility of external protection
SELF PRESERVATION
Accelerometer Pressure sensitive handles
If the camera detects a drop, and there is no contact with the pressure plates located in the handles, it will instinctively retract the arms to protect the body from damage. Should the arms take any damage, they can be replaced rather than an entire body.

school athletes.

Intermural Sailing
WHY SAILING?
It’s a passion of mine! It is a well funded sportBarely any coaching tools
COACHING CHALLENGES
TRADITIONAL COACHING:
CONTROLLED PLAYING FIELD SIMPLE COACHING INTERACTIONSVISUAL REFERENCES
SAILBOAT COACHING:
NO PHYSICAL BOUNDARIES ON LAKE, BOATS CAN LOSE CONTROL
COACH BOATS MUST DRIVE TO EACH BOAT IN ORDER TO COACH
RACES, RULES, AND COURSES AREN’T MARKED. MEMORY IS KEY
RESEARCH TRIPS
Working with Detroit Country Day School’s sailing team, I wanted to see how to make the emerging sport of intermural sailing easier and faster to learn.
I wanted to focus on the critical connection between the coach and the sailing students. Coaching is difficult on the water because the students are spread far across a lake in order to follow the drills. Communication is key.
Eric Ellison Intermural Sailing Coach
Eric Ellison is a seasoned sailing coach, primarily working with youth sailing programs affiliated with the Pontiac Yacht Club, and is spearheading Detroit Country Day High School’s Competitive Sail Racing Team.
Eric has been coaching for the past 12 years, and has started sailing teams at local high schools and reforms sailing programs at regional yacht clubs such as Colombia, Bayview, PYC, and DYC.
PROFESSIONAL INSIGHT
Common drills include tacking, gybing, racing, upwind/downwind, and “round the boat”
Difficult to communicate over water due to noise created by the wind, waves, and sails
Only visual reference to explain drills is shown on land during “chalk talks”
Understanding a drill is important, or else the sailor and group becomes disinterested
COMMUNICATION
Giving directions or advice on the
water is difficult. Often the
student isn’t aware that the coach
is talking specifically to them.
Sailing students learn the most by
using “chalk talks”. This allows for
a visual understanding of what to
do on the water.
VISUAL
The most common accident is
capsizing. If gone unnoticed, the
sail boat can flip 180°, trapping
the sailors underneath.

COACHING AID DESIGN
The design of the coaching aid includes 2 screens. With the angled screens, a sailor can see the information no matter which tack they are on.
DATA SCREENS
RACE SCREENThis screen shows crucial data for sailboat race training. Wind direction, current course, real time leader-boards, and a race clock for tactical decisions.
Information such as heel, heading, speed, and sail status is shown. As well as comments from the acting coach and a visual representation of the hull.
A satellite map, real time boat position, and course marks are displayed to assist the lesson. Goals are shown as well as a summery of the current lesson
