Introduction

This project, which was also one of my experiential learning experiences, is something that I have been working on with 3 other students at UW for the better part of a year. We had a vision for a system that would let us teach students about recycling in a hands-on manner. We entered in the Husky Seed Fund competition and were awarded a grant to bring our vision to life. For the past year or so, we have been designing and building a modular, portable cart system that holds and can power a variety of equipment, including a plastic shredder and injection molder. Recently, we have brought this system to several events around UW, where we have informed, educated, and recruited many students to our cause. I feel that this artifact is of particular importance to me because not only is it a cause that I am passionate about, but I was able to harness my skills from engineering to actually construct and bring our idea to life. I hope that by including it in my portfolio, I can show how my experience in different engineering classes and extracurricular experiences gave me the skills and know-how to achieve this. Below is my initial submission, and later my reflection, for this experience in my experiential learning portal.
