Spring 2021 (13 Weeks)
Challenge
Our team was challenged to take the role of “International Scientists” and create a plan to establish a “civilization” on an uninhabited island in the Pacific called “MS DOS”.
Insight
We found the coral reefs need to be protected and realized actually inhabiting the island would harm the reefs.
Solution
As a team, we decided to create an interactive virtual experience to study the coral reefs, and study from the island. We were thus able to satisfy the “civilization” aspect, while having minimal environmental impact on the island itself.
