Amit Sinha and Heidi Riley will lead us through a workshop exploring how university life will change in the future, providing an interactive opportunity for participants to showcase their own ideas on how we can turn our university into a Smarter Campus.
Amit Sinha
Vice President & Executive Director - Europe, Co-President - SFSP York, Students for a Smarter Planet
Amit Sinha, the Co-President of SFSP at York is now in his final year of a Computer Science degree. As well as being Co-President, Amit splits his time between his duties as Vice President and Executive Director – Europe, for SFSP and serving on SFSP’s Global Advisory Board. Indeed, since arriving at York, Amit has made quite an impression on both the student body and faculty. Even in his first year, he became both the Computer Science Board of Studies Representative and the first Faculty Representative for the Core Sciences, roles in which he pushed through important changes. Outside of York, Amit has seen great success, gaining an award as one of the Top 20 Student Contributors in IBM’s Smarter Planet University JAM in 2009, and participating in IBM’s EMEA Best Student Recognition event 2010. He is also currently a Student Partner for Microsoft.
Heidi Riley
Secretary - SFSP York
Heidi Riley serves as Secretary for the York chapter of SFSP, and is a first year Theoretical Physics student here at the University of York. Having a particular interest in nanotechnology, she feels particularly drawn to the idea that by applying innovative design and intelligent thinking, we can transform the seemingly mundane into tools and machines that can shape our future. To support this, she is also actively involved in Physics Soc at the University. Outside of her studies, Heidi is a keen musician, and is part of a variety of musical activities on campus.
Visual narrative draft #2
The author had planned to attend college after high school graduation to study Christian ministry and become a missionary in Africa. However, one week after graduation the author went on a family camping trip where their horse kicked them, breaking their leg and injuring their wrist. They were taken by ambulance to the hospital where they had surgery to insert a titanium rod and screws in their leg. They spent the summer recovering with a cast on their arm, dependent on family while in a wheelchair. This experience changed the author's plans and helped shape them into the person they became.

The document discusses challenges with the UK's current healthcare systems which have resulted in siloed data stores and difficulties accessing complete patient information. It proposes IBM's Smarter Healthcare solution to aggregate data from multiple legacy systems and medical devices in real-time to provide contextualized patient summaries and decision support capabilities. This integrated approach aims to improve care quality and coordination while reducing costs through benefits like decreased test duplication and readmissions.Japan Technical Cooperation Statistics
Japan provides statistical technical cooperation to countries in Asia through bilateral and multilateral efforts. This includes exchanging missions with China's National Bureau of Statistics, providing statistical training to Chinese officials since 1986, and dispatching statistical experts to China in the 1980s. Japan also engages in bilateral cooperation under JICA with countries like Indonesia and Sri Lanka. Multilaterally, Japan hosts meetings of East Asian national statistical office heads and participates in organizations like the UN, ADB, and OECD. The document recommends collecting good practices for technical cooperation to cover both technical and management aspects.

Inventing arguments draft #2
The author argues that while financial aid helps many students pay for higher education, it does not adequately support students like herself. As a 22-year-old independent student living off-campus, she receives minimal loans that do not fully cover her tuition costs. She must work to support herself but her parents' income still factors into her financial aid eligibility. The author believes tuition costs are rising too quickly and questions whether funds are being properly allocated by universities.
English visual essay final draft
Kristen Sell graduated from high school with plans for her future, but those plans changed one week later during a family camping trip. While on the trip, Kristen was kicked by a horse and shattered her tibia. She had to be transported to the hospital by ATV due to her remote location. At the hospital, surgeons inserted a rod and screws in her leg and discovered badly pulled ligaments in her wrist. Kristen spent the summer in a wheelchair and with casts on her arm and leg, fearing she may never walk again. Though the experience changed her plans, Kristen was eventually able to walk and believes she is now on the right path despite the unexpected events that altered her future.
Visual narrative draft #3
The author graduated from high school and had plans to attend college and become a missionary. She went on one last family camping trip before college. While on a horseback riding trip, her cousin's horse kicked her horse and her leg got caught, resulting in a shattered tibia and ligament damage in her wrist. She had to be airlifted to the hospital where she underwent surgery to insert metal rods and pins in her leg and wrist. She spent the summer recovering with the help of her family. Though her plans changed, she was grateful to have survived and regained her independence.
Inventing arguments final
The document discusses the high cost of higher education in the United States compared to other countries where college is free or more affordable. It notes that while financial aid exists, it does not adequately cover costs for many students. Tuition increases have far outpaced inflation, putting college out of reach for many average American families. Reform is needed to make higher education more affordable and accessible.
Blog
The document discusses the student's experiences with writing research papers in high school versus college. In high school, the teacher provided very specific instructions and guidelines for the research paper and students spent over a month working on it in class. The student feels this did not adequately prepare them for the independence required for research papers in college, where more time is spent working outside of class. The student received a good grade but does not feel the process was effective preparation.

6 sigma
Six Sigma is a quality improvement methodology that aims to reduce defects to 3.4 defects per million opportunities. It was developed by Bill Smith at Motorola in the 1980s and has since been adopted by many major organizations. Six Sigma uses statistical tools and process improvement strategies to enhance customer satisfaction and increase profits by eliminating defects in business processes.
Kanban
This document provides an introduction to Kanban, an agile methodology that focuses on visualizing and limiting work-in-progress to continuously improve workflow. It defines Kanban and how it was inspired by lean manufacturing practices. The core practices of Kanban are outlined, including defining and visualizing the workflow, limiting work-in-progress, measuring and managing flow, making process policies explicit, and using models to suggest improvement. An example Kanban board is demonstrated. Finally, the document discusses how to build a Kanban process by defining queues and work items, setting work-in-progress limits, establishing delivery cadence, and continually improving the process through Kaizen.
