Joy is an engineer enrolled on the unique Innovation Design Program, the product of a partnership between Imperial College London and the Royal College of Art. Working on design and creative engineering within an often futurist context, Joy is tasked with imagining our future on a daily basis: what will XYZ be like 10-20 years from now, and how can we find opportunities in the present so that we can reach that vision? From designing and programming censorship goggles with Google Object Detection, to building a tangible interaction game exploring the experience of street harassment, find out how Joy became involved in the world of invention at the nexus between the arts and sciences.
