Innovation for All | Colin Keogh | TEDxUCD

Helping people help themselves: Technology enhanced global development This talk will focus on the work of The Rapid Foundation, a charitable project that was founded in UCD in 2014. It will focus the work distributing 3d printing technologies to developing countries, with the goal to inspire and enable people to solve their own problems via low cost technology. A quick tour of Design Thinking methodology to encourage everyone to take action. Colin Keogh is a PhD student at UCD’s School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering. He is studying biomass energy, waste recycling, additive manufacturing, biological imaging and innovative design. In 2017 Colin was included in Forbes’ top 30 under 30 list for Europe in Science and Healthcare, was named one of JCI’s Ten Outstanding Young People and was named a Nissan Generation Next Ambassador. Colin is also the co-founder of a social enterprise, The Rapid Foundation, which aims to disperse 3-D printing technology to 3rd world locations and conducts printing workshops in schools. The goal of The Rapid Foundation is to change the way development aid is distributed, and improve the innovation potential of all people. The work of The Rapid Foundation won the IMechE 2016 Fritz Schumacher Award. Colin graduated with a degree in mechanical engineering and a Masters in energy systems engineering from UCD.
