Currently, we are working on 6 projects: Bee Hotel, Engineering Expo, Shade Sail, Solar Swing, Vertical Dining, and 3D Printing Filament. During general meetings, we break-out into our desired project group to continue the progress on these projects and meet throughout the week to accomplish our planned goals. You can find out more about each project below!
We appreciate the support and dedication of our members regarding our projects. If you would like to work in a more leadership role and start your own project please reach out to our President Owen or our VP of Proposals Patrick.
Bee Hotel
ESW is building habitats for solitary bees. This semester’s Bee Hotels will be placed in the Education Building Patio and Eagle Heights Garden. This project is in the fabrication phase. Contact Grace or Maddy for more details!
Shade Sail
ESW is designing and building a sun shade for Allen Centennial Garden. This project will be in the design phase this semester. Contact Owen or Cameron for more details!
Vertical Dining
ESW is developing a hydroponic growing station for plants in the dining halls. This project is in the design phase and takes place in the Leopold Greenhouse. Contact Alex or Maddy for more details!
Engineering Expo
ESW will be developing an interactive project for middle schoolers to present at Engineering Expo. Our research this year will focus on air quality monitoring. Contact Lily or Abhinay to get involved!
Solar Swing
ESW is designing a solar swing with charging capabilities. This project is in the proposal phase, where ideas and input are most welcome.
3D Printing Filament
ESW is developing 3D printing filament from plastic water bottles. This project is beginning this semester, and will include a lot of experimentation, including material testing. Contact Adam for additional details.
