Solar Latrine - Several students will be in Chile this summer piloting the business and marketing side of our design but there will still be a lot of technical research, development, and testing going on here in Atlanta at GTRI. Especially in May. Contact Lily (lilyponitz@gmail.com) if you’re interested in this unique research opportunity.
FASET - We will be tabling at all 7 of the FASETs (freshman orientations) this summer! If you would like to help at one or more of them, please let Christina (cdonegia3@gatech.edu) know. We will be posting those dates as they get a little closer.
GT Case Competition “Designing for Good”- (www.gtcasecomp.com). REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN! Sign-up to compete!! This is going to be an amazing opportunity both for the participants and our chapter.
