Spring 2012
During the Spring of 2012, I joined the Public Relations team to work on promotional materials and outreach for the team. During this semester, we created several informational cards for the Washington, DC symposium as well as organized group activities.
Fall 2012
During the Fall of 2012, I returned to AguaClara with the Public Relations team. The team focused heavily on presentations to students and student run organizations on campus. There was a larger push for campus involvement, team building activities and we outline, drafted and created the first informational sponsorship packet for the team. The Sponsorship Packet was designed as a resource for potential students and donors, to convey what AguaClara does, who we are and what we are working for.
Over the winter break, I traveled with the AguaClara engineering team to Honduras exploring current water sanitation technologies. On this trip, I learned an incredible amount of how AguaClara plants work, updates needed, the sociological impact and difficulties of implementation and also was able to learn a lot about the Honduran culture. It was an amazing trip to say the least!
Spring 2013
During the Spring of 2013, I returned to the AguaClara as a member of the Foam Filtration Team. Our primary goal is to design and fabricate a new foam filtration system as the current prototype was sent to Honduras over the Winter Break 2012 trip. The areas we are researching including new heights and dimensions of an LFOM, including a linear dosing system for the filter, new fabrication techniques with a heavy focus on documentation.
