During the last Tuesday we had our final design review. All teams prepared their slides and made sure to cover all the semester work. It was good to see how each team's project improved from what it was at the beginning. #EPICSPurdue

The Mobile Lab Team is hard at work designing a custom 3-D print design to aid in one of their experiments. We are making great progress in testing our new experiments for our chemistry-based mobile lab. @EPICSPurdue

Like every Tuesday each project of the Haiti EPICS team presented PIGS. During this week PIGS presentation was focused on the decision matrix about the materials, CAD models, and budget each project is going to chose for the construction of their model.

Final Fall Update (2/3):
Team MobileLabs is working on providing biology and chemistry labs to students at the Le Refuge School in Haiti. They have researched experiments & Haitian education, decided which labs they will prepare, and are working on instruction manuals for them.

Team Hydroponics finished their cardboard prototype of the drip system based on their conceptual design! This system will be used by the students at the Le Refuge School in Haiti to grow plants like tomatoes and beans.

Hey Everyone! Project Hydroponics hit the lab for the first time this semester on Tuesday to begin our cardboard prototype of the drip hydroponics system. Check it out! (Look out for more prototype updates coming soon)
