Student Remarks

I am thrilled to have won an award at the 2026 Korea International Women's Invention Exposition for my "Artificial Intelligence Fitness Resistance Band"! This product was born from our observation of the pain points of daily storage, and we hoped to make exercise no longer a hassle through clever design. During the design process, we repeatedly refined the details, striving to achieve a balance between aesthetics and practicality, so that users can experience the joy of exercise.

I especially want to thank Professor Wen-Cheng Lai for his inspiration. He encouraged us to consider the user's perspective and think about how to make designs more relevant to daily life, which has made our work even more user-friendly. We are also grateful to Ming Chi University of Technology for providing this platform to showcase creativity, enabling us to transform our ideas into reality. In the future, we will continue to pay attention to the details of daily life, using design to create a better experience for users!
