Projects
In the 2015-2016 school year, my project partner, Amanda Watson, and I designed and created our own shower system in which timed out how long water was running for and decreased the water flow through the shower head. We created 3-D models of each component of the shower timer design through the Autodesk computer program and 3-D Printed each component. The following year, I created place-mats from the reuse of plastic bags from grocery stores. Each project required a thorough documentation of the project, its uses, and the idealization of whether or not it could be mass produced and sold in stores. This project documentation was presented to a panel of judges who were well versed in each project category.
Starting 2018, I began working at the MOST (Michigan Tech Open Source Technology) Research group under Dr. Joshua Pearce. My current project is to work with shredded windshield wipers and test them using various 3-D printing processes. A parter, Samantha Dertinger, and I are aiming to reuse windshield wipers for different pieces in prosthetics.
