AWARDS
Strathclyde EWB Grand Finals, A 3-man team I was a part of made it to the finals of an engineering competition, which all universities in the UK participate in. The goal of the competition was to come up with solutions to community problems within Makers Valley, Johannesburg. We were in charge of the Sanitation Department, which we managed to help with by implementing Rain Gardens. This was deemed effective as it contributed to the overall problem, was affordable, and didn't take away from the town's character and charm.
