Description
Continuing our series on Education in Design and Tech, today we are joined by the prolific inventor, conservationist, student, and educator Cesar Jung-Harada. Cesar is the Founder and Director of “MakerBay”, a Hong Kong network of innovation centers and the Founder and CEO of the ocean robotic startup “Scoutbots” developing ocean sensors and transportation technology to explore and protect the oceans. Cesar is also a TED Senior Fellow and his most popular talk has about 2 million views, and has been translated into more than thirty languages. He was the opening speaker of the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference about ocean innovation. Cesar's current research includes Impact Invention, Social Innovation, Critical and Speculative Design, ocean exploration and conservation technologies, and creative community building. Cesar is a Senior Lecturer for the Design+ Bachelor of Arts and Sciences Programme. He teaches both technical and theoretical aspects of design with an emphasis on inventions with social and environmental impact. He was trained in Design Thinking by George Kembel (co-founder of Stanford d-School) and in Rapid Prototyping by Tom Chi (co-founder of Google X). He is also a dear friend to the Supplyframe DesignLab community, and was a 2020 Hackaday Prize Judge. Today we discuss what inspired Cesar to pursue a life in design, conservation, and education, his brilliant teaching work with folks of all ages, and the tangible impact he is having on our oceans through innovative design.
