Dream High Packaging Protection from Mycelium

Abstract

In a world increasingly focused on sustainability and reducing environmental impact, DreamHigh is pioneering an innovative approach to packaging solutions using mycelium—a natural, biodegradable, and renewable material derived from fungi. Our mission is to revolutionize the packaging industry by offering eco-friendly alternatives that not only reduce waste but also align with global efforts to combat climate change. Mycelium packaging offers a compelling alternative to traditional plastic and Styrofoam packaging, which contribute significantly to environmental pollution. It is fully biodegradable, compostable, and capable of breaking down in natural environments within weeks, leaving no toxic residues behind. Additionally, mycelium-based products are lightweight, durable, and customizable, making them suitable for a wide range of applications, from consumer goods packaging to protective shipping materials. DreamHigh’s business plan outlines a scalable production process leveraging advanced mycelium cultivation techniques and partnerships with local agricultural sectors to utilize agricultural waste as a key raw material. This not only ensures cost-efficiency but also supports a circular economy by repurposing waste that would otherwise be discarded.

Objective

เนื่องจากเราเล็งเห็นถึงปัญหาของการทิ้งโฟมหรือพลาสติกกันกระแทก ที่ใช้เวลาในการย่อยสลายนาน เราจึงนำตัวไมซีเลียมที่ใช้เวลาย่อยสลายไม่นานอีกทั้งยังเป็นมิตรต่อธรรมชาติ

The Metaverse of KMITL Lifelong Learning Center (KLLC) and Data Management Center (KDMC) for Public Relations

This thesis aims to present the development of a metaverse project for the KMITL Lifelong Learning Center (KLLC) and KMITL Data Management Center (KDMC) for Public Relations at King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, with the main goal of creating a metaverse prototype to promote learning and public relations through virtual reality technology for students, staff, and external individuals. In this project, the developers have created a metaverse system to simulate a virtual experience for users at the KMITL Lifelong Learning Center (KLLC) and KMITL Data Management Center (KDMC) for Public Relations at King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang. Users will be able to access the system through a web application developed with Unity, which is the tool used to create the metaverse system. The design allows users to visit and interact with various locations within the building to promote public relations in a more widespread virtual format. The developers used Maya and Unity software to create a metaverse system for modeling 3D objects and managing various functions, providing users with a realistic and novel experience. This project is expected to promote learning and the dissemination of information in an easily accessible modern format, creating opportunities for education and learning for those who cannot travel to see the actual locations. This makes metaverse technology an important tool for effectively developing learning and engagement in the digital age.

Innovation in commercial vertical set of golden apple snails as environmentally friendly using an aquaponics system

The innovation of the vertical aquaponics system for rearing golden apple snails integrating with vegetable cultivation by using substrates to water treatment. The system aims to maximize the use of vertical space, save water, and produce safe vegetables for consumption or commercial purposes, and to support living things. The golden apple snail excretes wastes/leftover food scraps that are filtered on the substrates used for water treatment. Meanwhile, natural bacteria help change these wastes into nutrients that plants can use. Therefore, the system is environmentally friendly.

The Designing of 3D-Printed Modular Artificial Reef through Design Thinking Framework: A Case study in Koh Khai, Chumphon Province, Thailand

This study explores the design, production, and installation of 3D-printed modular artificial reefs (3DMARs) at Koh Khai, Chumphon Province, Thailand, through a design thinking framework. Collaborating with SCG Co., Ltd. and the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources, the research establishes design criteria and installation methods, utilizing content analysis and qualitative research. Key principles such as modularity, flexibility, environmental sustainability, and usability are identified. The user-centered approach optimizes the 3DMARs for transport and deployment, enabling local community involvement and fostering sustainable practices. The modular design supports scalability, enhancing marine habitats and coral larval settlement. Furthermore, underwater monitoring techniques enable site-specific data collection, allowing for the generation of digital twin models. This research offers a practical framework for marine ecosystem restoration and empowers coastal communities in Thailand and beyond
