So I'm sitting in my living room in my apartment bemoaning the fact that I have zero followers and zero comments on my one post. I was hoping to give a little bit of myself in my first blog post, and get a little bit from others in the form of comments and followers. I'll tell you what, I'll put a little more effort in if I can get a little effort out from you, my followers.
This week my capstone team and I are presenting our year-long capstone project for final review. We've been working on designing a water filtration system that we want to make available for use in impoverished countries. The idea is that if we can make a cheap but effective system, small villages all over world can use the systems and have constant access to clean water.
There have been a lot of ups and downs in the design process, but I feel very proud with what we've accomplished so far and I'm excited to present our design and finish out my capstone experience. I may not always agree with the politics of the capstone program, but I feel that we've made a product that has a lot of potential to do good in the world, and it's something upon which I'll gladly put my name and beside which I'll proudly stand.
So here's my second blog post is as many years. I hope you like it.
