Healthy Kids / Active Tech: 2019 IPD Winter Trade Show
Live Trade Show: April 10, 2019, Tauber Colloquium
6:30–8:30 pm
Six teams of students from across the University of Michigan, including the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design, Ross School of Business, Michigan Engineering, and the School of Information, are competing to design and produce the best active technology product that encourages kids to maintain and improve their health as they grow to adolescence.
This semester’s Integrated Product Development challenge focuses on pre-adolescent children ages 9-12. As they develop their autonomy and independence, it is also a critical time to establish healthy habits that can lead to positive life outcomes. Kids today interact with technology more intensively than in any previous generation. Technology advances invite the creative design of products to impact good health habits in areas such as nutrition, physical activity, mental health, technology/media use, and sleep.
One week prior to the trade show, the public is able to “vote with their wallets” in the IPD Online Trade Show. From April 2–9 visitors can browse the teams’ product websites, learn more about the products, and spend a virtual $200 budget on their favorites. Visit the IPD Online Trade Show event page to learn more and cast your vote starting April 2.
On April 10, the teams will unveil and demonstrate their product prototypes to the IPD community and public at the IPD Live Trade Show. This is a great time to mingle with the minds behind the ideas and discover if your favorite products were winners in the Online Trade Show.
The winning team of the Winter 2019 Integrated Product Development competition will be recipients of the inaugural Sarah S. Murphy Prize. Administered by the Stamps School of Art & Design, this prize of $5,000 was initiated by the Murphy family in honor of Sarah S. Murphy.
Free visitor parking is available after 5:00 pm in the Hill Street parking structure or metered parking is available on the east (East University Street) and west sides (Tappan Avenue) of the building.
This event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.
