Team Joule is the fourth and final project created for the Energy Lab, an interactive learning space for middle-school students based at Elizabeth Forward School District and sponsored by Chevron.
As the final installment, our goal is to synthesize solar, wind, and fossil fuel energies explored in the other experiences to encourage energy conservation habits and get students excited about science and technology.

Producer: Andrew (Andrewdorourke.com)
Hi! My name’s Andrew, and I’m Team Joule’s producer and experience designer. I received my bachelor’s degree from Duke University where I studied Environmental Science & Policy and Film. After graduation, I spent over three years working at The Walt Disney Company as a Video Producer in Burbank, CA and one year as a Volunteer Educator at the California Science Center. Visual storytelling about the wonders of our planet has always been my passion, and in joining the ETC, I hope to bring stories to life in different media, especially focusing on science and cultural location-based experiences that both educate and inspire— so working with the Energy Lab is a perfect fit!
Artist: Dale (Dalewones.com)
Hi there, I am the lead artist on Team Joule. I currently hold a BFA from Washington and Jefferson College in Studio Arts, Computer Information Studies, and a concentration in Graphics Design. I’m a native of Pittsburgh and went to school at Elizabeth Forward School District. I’m very excited to get to go back and work with the middle school. My core interest are in 3D modeling for games, but am also open to the
idea of 3D modeling for use in 3D printing physical props and costumes.
Programmer: Justin (Justinouyang.com)
I am a programmer on the team with a degree in Computer Science from the National University of Singapore (NUS). I love to design interactive experiences that are engaging and fun to play with. I also have a keen interest in game design and development. I hope to work with others who share the same interests and create experiences that is fun to play with.
Programmer: Ruonan (ruonan-zhang.net)
Hi! I am currently a first-year graduate student at Entertainment Technology Center, Carnegie Mellon University. My background is Computer Science and Information Science. I received my first master’s degree at University of Pittsburgh. As a programmer, I have experiences in different areas such as web development, mobile development as well as game development. I am interested in interactive systems, and during my first semester at ETC, I had the opportunities to design and develop several games. I am currently learning computer graphics as well as gain experience from the semester-long project.
