Notes de l'éditeur
GlobalResolve combines these two realities with the Design Aspirations of the New American University. Read slideGlobalResolve started in 2006 as an initiative at ASU in the College of Technology and Innovation and also affiliated with GIOS and the School of Sustainability.GlobalResolve improves the world by building partnerships to create technological, economic, educational and social solutions for villages in the developing world. The results are: 1.New products for the BOP to improve lives 2.New business ventures to build village economies3.Life-changing educational experiences for students.
Tec de Monterrey’s Toluca Campus where their design school is situated on the left in front of their business school on the right.The poor town of San Antonio Buenavista is deteriorating with unprofitable corn farms closing but has a beautiful man-made community lake.
Collaboration of both Tec and ASU’s CTI and HIDA integrating faculty & students from all three.
Graduate Architecture student developing the design of the Restaurant which is a combination organic greenhouse with aquaponic food system.
Graduate Design student designing the Restaurant Brand Experience & Interiror.
Graduate Visual Communications student designing the Brand Packaging for an Organic Yogurt Product to combat the highly branded high sugar junk food products that plague the community.
Most schools in poor rural communities teach science out of textbooks requiring only rote memorization without any hands-on activities due to costs of lab equipment.Graduate Design student with science and teaching background designing affordable and culturally appropriate hands-on science classroom experiment kits.
Poor rural communities rarely have access to computers but many do have cell phone connectivity. Graduate Visual Communications student designing an online web education program to be used over future smart phones.
The town of SABV only has one small health clinic that servies the 5000+ residents. To lesson the burden on the clinic a graduate ASU Industrial Design student is designing a mobile health clinic business based on Education, Diagniosis and Prevention of the common health problems in the community.
The Mazahua have an indigenous tradition of sewing very intricate laced materials and stitched fabrics. An undergraduate Global Studies student with a background in Fashion Design is leading the effort to bring the Mazahua traditions to a global market through the development of fashion goods targeted to the American middle class that leverage the Mazahua culture and indigenous knowledge.
The Mazahua Tribe are like our Native Americans but do not have the benefit of a sovereign indian nation & government. The Mazahua live in severe poverty with wood burning cook stoves and many have no access to electricity.
In addition to working in the Town of San Antonio Buenavista we are also working with the Indigenous Tribe of the Mazahua about 1.5 hours outside of the town. The Mazahua community is about 12,000 individuals living in the lowest levels of the BoP.
