IDEAS Design Challenge Kick-Off be a manioc maniac!
Invent a new gizmo to process manioc/cassava and win a $250 prize.
The manioc (also called cassava) is a staple food crop of Haiti, Ghana, and many other countries. It is also a significant element of an MIT project to reduce deforestation and produce a clean-burning cooking fuel that could improve the health of millions of people. In both Haiti and Ghana, the current methods of processing cassava are dangerous, hard work, and extremely time-consuming. This IAP, can you invent a device to help?
We will provide basic materials, expert advice, and fun events. You bring the ideas and enthusiasm.
