Periodic table book

Book, entitled 'Georgia Tech: Interactive Design of The Periodic Table to Celebrate 150 Years of Elements', made by Georgia Tech School of Industrial Design, Atlanta, USA, 2019.

2019 marks the 150th anniversary of Dmitri Mendeleev’s creation of his periodic table, which the United Nations commemorated in a worldwide, year-long celebration: the International Year of the Periodic Table (IYPT).

This book was produced by students of the Georgia Tech School of Industrial Design, in collaboration with the College of Sciences. It tells the story of a student project that took IYPT as its brief, featuring, for example, conceptual designs for interactive displays on the periodic table. Unusually, it provides an example of IYPT engagement from an academic perspective outside of science -- industrial design.
