Visit the site (opens in a new tab). Go to Organizations, pick one, then press the Explore button.
Clicking Explore starts an animation. These animations show – in a single scene – everything that organization does. Sometimes it's hard to figure out what these "climate tech" companies actually do… So I thought… why not put everything in one scene?
One goal is for the animations to be accessible to young ages. The animations are constrained to be simple (yes, they are cartoon-y) while retaining technical depth.
Backstory
It's my long term goal to combine my engineering background with agriculture and/or forestry.
To do this, I gotta learn about the ecosystem of organizations involved with maintaining the Earth.
Having just graduated from a Computer Science (CS) degree and previously ECE… …obviously my angle is biased towards "technology".
But I feel that technology is so… 1 dimensional. You design something, and the response is exactly as designed. However, working with nature, the Earth, plants and animals… You act within, and you observe the response. You cannot recreate the exact response. The interaction is more than 1 dimensional (if that's even a good analogy).
As I observe and play and learn through interaction (cultivation as I'd like call it, rather than just interact)… I feel I must try to merge my "formal education" with natural dimensions.
It's not in the cards to go back to school again (yet) for that PhD in forestry (back to Corvallis?!) so, it'll have to be self-taught.
