‘Moon Vehicle’ to present its work at Microsoft Faculty Summit
Staff Reporter
Bangalore: Inspired by the Indian Space Research Institute’s mission to the moon, Chandrayaan-1, the design students of the Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology have created an “interactive user experience,” which has been selected for the 2008 Microsoft Research Design Expo.
The team, who call themselves “Moon Vehicle”, will represent India next month at the Microsoft Faculty Summit at Redmond in Washington.
The team has designed a system that will help children build their own satellite from an illustrated manual. The gadget allows them to talk about space through messages received from similar gadgets in schools across the city as well as the ISRO headquarters.
These messages are publicly aired and a conversation about space, the moon and colonisation is built through stories, associations, questions and opinions.
