Smart articles, prototyping tips, gee-whiz technologies and bad jokes from DtM's internal mailing list: the August 2016 edition.

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: It takes a village to complete a summer design sprint. Watch us channel Greer Garson as we highlight the many technical experts who have generously contributed their time and smarts! 

German mathematician David Hilbert said "a perfect formulation of a problem is already half its solution."  Internally, we call that perfect formulation the “hypothesis of record,” and here’s what it looks like in the early stages of a DtM product like the Otter newborn warmer.

It takes a village to launch a summer design sprint!  Sponsor Lenovo donated blazing fast CAD computers for product development. Come on a tour of the BUILD Space, where our team of Autodesk Student Experts has access to the most cutting-edge rapid prototyping tools, including a CNC mill the size of a garage.  

We're excited to welcome two new members to the summer design team. Together, Karan, Kristine and Malory will develop an "alpha" or fully functional prototype of the Otter newborn warmer.

Check out the Firefly poster we presented at MIT’s Global Health conference earlier this month.

After 48 hours hacking with a mob of clinical experts, entomologists, designers and engineers at MGH, here’s what we learned about the zika virus, the aedes aegypti mosquito and the future of fighting vector-borne illness.

Our Salem studio was party central this month, hosting groups of social impact design enthusiasts from Boston Design Week and NewCo Boston.
