- NJNoel JoyceAssistant Professor @ NYU Shanghai Project Lead for Project Mjolnir (VIP) @ NYU Tandon Mentor and Consultant in Design and Innovation Disability Advocate Adaptive Mountain Biker When a mountain biking accident ended his career in the military and left him confined to a wheelchair Noel Joyce went back to education to study Industrial design. He went on to utilize his newfound skill set to become an entrepreneur bringing to life a number of small hardware-based startups. Travelling to and working in Shenzhen, China he subsequently went on to become head of design at HAX a hardware startup accelerator where he worked with over 200 startups in the areas of robotics, medical devices, consumer products as well as many more industries considering the business needs of these startups as well as their design needs. An advocate of design as a problem-solving activity and a keen interest in creating solutions to difficulties around many issues, Noel utilizes his unique prism of living both with and without a disability to create solutions to complex problems. Noel continues to apply his design knowledge and capabilities to his work teaching Design and Innovation at NYU Shanghai where he is also the lead instructor on Project Mjolnir : Open Source Adaptive MTB a project that is part of the VIP program at Tandon School of Engineering, NYU. In this case study he will tell the story of how design got him back to mountain biking and how he and his team are creating an Project Mjolnir : Open Source Adaptive Mountain Bike utilizing Autodesk Fusion 360. Learn how Noel and his team are using this platform to teach students design and innovation at several locations around the globe and how they are turning concepts into reality to help more people with disability get involved in adaptive mountain biking.
