What an AMAZING day of learning for our OQS Engineers! Last week, after months of preparation, our students went out into the forest to test the prototypes of their solutions to the Practical Action Squashed Tomato challenge!
Students had to keep the principles, observations, and people involved in the problem in mind throughout the design process to be successful. We continued to bring them back to the ideas we gathered using our Innovator's Compass before we started building back in October!
Let's see how successful they were!
We went out into the woods of our very own Tools Trail to test their designs in a setting similar to that which the farmers of Nepal live. We couldn't do anything about the snow!
We had a rope already set up for any student who wanted to simulate a zipline. Other than that, all of the innovation was up to them!
