Elouise Oyzon makes fun things.

The Innovation Trail caught up with Oyzon in our listening booth at TEDxRochester in November 2011. She told us about her efforts to make her workplace as fun as possible, through a pilot project at the Rochester Institute of Technology called "Just Press Play."

The Microsoft-sponsored project adds a "game layer" to the college experience, giving students a chance to win "achievements," for engaging "in a playful way with their educational environments and experiences."

Like the music? It's Buffalo-based Fourem's "Voyage to the Center of the Lung."
