PiET Lab @PiET_Lab

Technology was supposed to make life more simple, but instead its made it more complex. We need a solution that removes the barrier between us and other humans, an entirely new user experience, one that works invisibly alongside us, and is biological not mechanical in nature.

Two years ago, I was saying “do you have any questions?”. Last year I switched to “what questions do you have?” It made a difference. Today I tried “ask me two questions”. And they did! And those ?s led to more ?s. It amazes me that the littlest things have such a big impact!

Me when a student asks a question the answer to which is in the syllabus: Why didn't they read what I wrote!? Me when installing our new washing machine: This manual has a lot of boring words in it and I can't remember the only paragraph I read, I bet I can just wing this.

The #YorkU community mourns the tragic passing of @GlendonCampus student Julia Baciu. On behalf of all of us, I extend my deepest condolences to her family & friends at this difficult time. Our flags have been lowered to half-mast today in Julia's honour. ~rl

We shared our research progress to professors, students and industry professionals! A great exposure to the world of academia; so proud of all the undergrad researchers at @LassondeSchool for their impactful contributions! #ResearchHighlight #yorku #lassondeschool #accessible

Great slide from @aprilwensel showing how we should shift the stereotypical tech culture to be more positive.

Why #UserNeeds and #UserCentred design?

At the #PiETLab, we appreciate feedback, challenging questions, and constructive criticism. To support that, we welcome students that like to take a tour to our lab and learn about our projects. 📸: Visit from Women in Engineering Student & Mentorhip Program grade 11 students 😎
