DELTA staff collaborated with Dr. Colleen Countryman, a physics education researcher, to design and develop a mobile app named Measurements Using EverydaY Technologies (MyTech), which is intended to provide meaningful laboratory experiences to students in PY 206 (originally PY 205) Physics for Scientists and Engineers I, while reducing the cost of departmental resources. By visually representing and recording data provided by the smartphone’s internal accelerometer and gyroscope, MyTech allows students to explore, measure and analyze physical motion using their own smartphones. Although there are pre-existing apps with similar functionalities, MyTech was specifically designed to address instructional and technological challenges emerged from PY 206 labs using pre-existing apps.
My role in this project was to create the visual look and feel, user interface layout, and icons. Learn more about the app here!
