Project 1: Light up the dome

The Mercedez Benz Superdome is the home stadium to the New Orleans Saints and when they are playing at home the fans are able to load up the saint’s app on their phone and choose the light up the dome setting on it. What this does is when the players are introduced on to the field the fans’ phones will start flashing to the beat of the introduction song and what this is meant to do is to hype everyone up before the game starts and try to give off good vibes.

 

Strategy 2: DIY

Project 2: Build Your Own Computer

When I see the word DIY the concept of building your computer comes to mind. The reason people do this is that it is much cheaper to build a pc than it is to get it pre-build depending on the time of pc you want to build. A common example that we can look at is a gaming pc because you can see the difference in price range

Pre-Built PC

 

I tried my best to find a pc that had similar parts to the first one and in the picture above gives off a decent representation of that. This PC on amazon has almost similar parts to the DIY PC but is being charged at a $800 price tag. It just shows the benefits of learning to build your own computer because you can save money and make a better product in general

 

Strategy 3: CROWDSOURCE THE JOB

Project: Air Quality Egg

Air quality egg is a project that allows anyone to conduct scientific experiments using real-time data of your own and from other people around the world to determine how good the air quality is in your area. It is a wifi enabled device and its meant to help educate people more about the quality of our air and is being used by school around the world. The more people that contribute data to this project the more accurate readings we will all get.
