As a design exercise I created pins and web banners for ECU’s Research and Creative Achievement Week. I chose to use power strips along with the phrase “connect to Possibilities” as power strips allow a single outlet to become a center of technological activity with limitless potential. Moreover, it brings people together, causes them to gather around a shared space, the very basis of RCAW.
By giving away flashdrives and DIY pins, ECU would be able to spark connections at and beyond RCAW. The large buttons were to be created on site by participants. The flash drive were to be loaded with the names, emails and topics of those presenting at RCAW, allowing students to connect after the event.
