Details

The project aims to explore the integration of Flash Joule Heating technology with artificial intelligence to revolutionize waste management and material creation. This innovative approach seeks to upcycle carbon and other materials, significantly reducing global consumption and waste. The project will involve the conceptual development of hardware capable of transforming waste into valuable materials, providing both financial and social benefits to communities. Learners will apply their classroom knowledge to create comprehensive documentation that supports the use of this technology. The project will focus on developing a business strategy, technical drawings, and a detailed explanation of the technology's functionality and community benefits. By engaging in this project, learners will contribute to a sustainable future while gaining practical experience in technology and business strategy development.

Deliverables

The project deliverables include a detailed business strategy document outlining the potential market and financial benefits of the technology. Learners will also produce technical drawings using business process model notation and decision model notation to illustrate the technology's design and operation. Additionally, a comprehensive report explaining how the technology will work and its benefits to communities will be developed. These deliverables will demonstrate the learners' ability to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world challenges.
