“我们的学生,再次,设法超过我的前女友pectations. Teams of graduate and undergraduate students, most of them without coding experience, not only programmed a wearable in the span of a day but designed digital experiences and socially responsible business models. Babson students, with their ingenuity and bent for experimentation, are uniquely qualified to tackle business challenges with technology.” – Professor Mancha
Throughout the day students also:
- Discussed the state of the art of the wearables and fashion industries
- Learned how to apply design thinking to the development of wearables
- 与可穿戴设备相互作用。
