Inspired by Industry Thrive Wearables, Inspired by Industry: Thrive Wearable TechnologyThis context has been put together to allow a range of opportunities for students to explore modern technology through the use of wearable technology. The outcomes are to be conceptual and may not be fully working. For example, if a heart monitor was to be explored, the prototype may detect movement such as with an accelerometer in a micro:bit or a tilt-switch for a Crumble. Whilst this may not be a true representation of how it is done, to allow a concept to emerge it would be...

Sound Engineer, Becky Pell, In this podcast, we are in conversation with Becky Pell. Becky is a sound engineer touring internationally with some of the biggest names in music. In this conversation, we trace her journey from school to a career that drew her in from her very first concert as a fifteen-year-old, where she saw A-ha live and found her attention split between Morten Harket and the other band members and the engineers working the sound desk in front of her. As she left that concert with her dad, her mind was made up; this was...
