SP.776 Design for Demining (landmine removal) is holding an Open House for students interested in taking this spring term design class. Pizza for the first 30 students. Presentations and demos at 12:00 and 1:00. Come try out actual protective equipment and tools!
Landmines persist in many countries. This is an exciting chance to invent things that could really change or save people's lives. The class runs like a real development firm. You can invent brand new things, or work on established projects, help blast test them and deploy them with professional deminers around the world. The class includes a field trip to the US Army's Demining Training Center, (no live landmines), and visits by deminers to evaluate our work. This is real product design! Students from all majors are welcome. Come to the Open House to find out more.
