Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

For individuals, now is the time to pinpoint the skills the future professional will need to thrive in the AI age.
Check out this presentation to understand what ChatGPT is, how it will shape the future of work, and how you can prepare to take advantage.
A brief introduction to DataScience with explaining of the concepts, algorithms, machine learning, supervised and unsupervised learning, clustering, statistics, data preprocessing, real-world applications etc.

2. Monday: We were in Biscarrosse Beach all Day, and We learnt how to recognise many plants.
Tuesday: At. the morning we were in two museums in the afternoon. We went back again in our headquar-
ters in Biscarrosse
Wednesday: We were again in our headquarters.
3. Monday
In the morning we went by bus from Parentis to Biscarrosse beach. There we made groups (each
group had different job). Then we went by bike to the dunes. We learnt how to identify a lot of
plants. We were on the beach and we touched the Atlantic. Then we went back to the headquar-
ters. We had a picnic outside. Baguettes were delicious. Afterwards we received some forms for
our next job which was about recognising plants on the dune. Technically we were doing the
same work as we did before just in different groups. In the end we had some free time on the
beach and we draw some word in the sand. It was a good day.
Musée des traditions et de l’histoire de
Biscarrosse,
Tuesday June 1st
Today,in the morning, we went in a museum in Biscarrosse from 10:30 to 12:00.
At first, we saw a film. It was only in French, so the Czech didn’t understand. It ex-
plained how the area looked like before. After, we saw a map. There was a guide who talked
us about the map and the region. She explained the area was very flat and she was boggy.
So, the persons who lived in the Landes must planted up pin trees. After, we saw the room of
4. Wednesday, the 2nd of june
Some pupils were listening to music and at the same time they were working on the identifi-
cation sheet of the plants.
Before finishing their identification, the pupils went to the dune to take more pictures.
After that pupils did several activities. For example thank the people who allowed us to or-
ganize this echange. Another team created the cover of our brochure. Another student selec-
ted pictures taken during the week.
Everybody was hungry so we had lunch in the sun.
The report about the museum
We had a meeting at 8:30 behind the school. We went by bus
to the small city Sanguinet and our first acivity was visit the
Museum of the laque. The guide told us many information
about the Sanguinet lake. In the past, there was only a river,
which was blocked by the dunes a long time ago. It took many
years and the lake appeared. The dunes are up to 85 metres
high and they were made by the west wind and sand from the
Atlantic ocean. The exibithion continued and French teacher
was translating the information to English. Then we could see
some old coins, vase, bowls and things, which were used by
old inhabitants. The long wooden boats were made from pine
tree, they were under the water level, the scientists took them
up and put them into the museum.
5. Matériel et méthode
On Monday morning we made identification of the plants with Mr. LABAT. Many plants
were identificated. In the afternoon we went to the dune and we did the work, which our
teachers gave for us: find and describe 2 plants. We found these plants in the areas (each 10
metres, about diameter 4 metres). When we found something, we wrote it on worksheet. (we
had 5 categories - + single plant, 1. a few plants of the same species, 2. a lot of plants but
less 50% of the area, 3. this species cover more than 50% of the area, 4. this species cover
more than 75% of the area). Finally we shared the information with the other students.
The rules were not to step on the plants and respect the dune.

Ulex Europaeus
GORSE
Ulex Europaeus is a plant which pricks and makes
yellow flowers.
This plant lives in the wood and normally not in the dune.
If we find this plant in the dune, it’s because ONF
takes branches and put them on the dune to fix it.
Some branches grew up on the dune.

21. Thanks
We want to say Thank you to the Biscarrosse mayor because he lent us tables and chairs and
a small house (la régie du Vivier) near the sea and welcomed us .
We also want to thank the ONF because they gave us some books and they gave us the au-
thorization to study the dune area.
We say thank you to the Comenius European Project. It’s very nice to meet foreign students
and work with them .
We also thank the teachers who are here because they’re very nice.
