Jessamy was born and raised in the Channel Islands where she fostered a passion for writing at a young age. An insatiable explorer, she has lived in Guernsey, Malawi, the UK and New Zealand – fulfilling a variety of editorial and content creation roles. After completing several coveted internships in the UK, Jessamy hit the ground running as a news reporter for a top national daily newspaper. She was then offered a job in government communications in New Zealand. Her entrepreneurial spirit encouraged her to start her own content business aged just 26, meaning she now collaborates with numerous international clients. In any role, her favourite job is working with interesting people to tell great stories to as large an audience as possible. She holds a BA in English Literature (University of Warwick) and an MA in International Journalism (Brunel University). In her spare time, you’ll find her travelling the world, hiking with her dog, listening to country music or sipping on cosmopolitans.
Design affects everything we do and shapes how we experience the world as we know it, and design degrees cater to the diversity of this creative and wide ranging field. As part of your design degree, you will be encouraged to develop your own creative and unique design style, in whatever discipline that may be – ranging from web design and graphic design to product design and additive manufacturing.
As technology becomes an increasingly crucial and ever-present ingredient to the recipe of modern day life, the questions begs to be asked: what does continually advancing technology mean for us as human beings?
It’s widely acknowledged that STEM (science, engineering, technology and math) graduates go on to have lucrative careers. So, if you’re a whizz at any of these subjects or are drawn to learning more about them, you could turn your passion into a pretty high flying profession.
From driverless cars to commercial space travel, technological innovations in the transportation world are moving fast and the Fourth Industrial Revolution is hitting the road too – welcome to the concept of Smart Roads.
Road and traffic system advances implemented through “smart roads” are starting to play an increasingly important role in such modernization, and for good reason. The US road network alone exceeds 6.58 million km, or 17,947 square miles of land. By 2035, there’s expected to be 2 billion cars on the road worldwide – double the estimated 2010 figure.
Going “green” is something most of us have been trying to do for a while now. Whether it’s cutting down the amount of plastic we use, recycling as much as possible, switching off the lights when we leave a room or eating less meat, there are so many ways in which we can and are doing our bit for the environment. Less topical, however, is the fact that 3D printing can lower our negative impact on the world around us.
Technology is ubiquitous, omnipresent and touches pretty much every aspect of our lives. It’s transforming almost everything we do, and the pace of change is only gathering speed. In fact, analyst firm Gartner speculates there will be more than 26 billion connected IoT (Internet of Things) devices by 2020.
Historically, space travel has been a reality consigned solely to highly trained astronauts. We earthlings could only catch glimpses of space through books, the internet, documentaries and Sci-fi movies. But that’s all set to change. The prospect of the everyman being able to journey into space - through commercial space travel via spaceports - is becoming increasingly tangible.
The 3D printing industry is in a state of constant flux and development. With the market set to expand by 17.5% over the next seven years, the career opportunities for both men and women are broad and far reaching. However, for years the tech field at large has been mostly dominated by men. Indeed, with only 13% of the 3D printing workforce being female, it’s clear we still have some way to go. But, we are getting there.
From cutting costs and increasing efficiency to prompting innovation, 3D printing has had an undeniably significant impact on the manufacturing industry in recent years. Thanks to advances in material science, digital design and on-demand production capabilities, we are seeing industry-wide change. From the realms of aerospace and prosthetics, to cars, sports and food, manufacturers are tapping into 3D printing technology to improve and revolutionize their production processes.
