Prof. Cumberbatch and nine Cooper students traveled to Washington, DC, to share their work on two projects in Cooper's SEA2M3 lab (SEA2M3 stands for: Center for Sustainable Engineering, Art and Architecture - Materials, Manufacturing and Minimalism): the Solar Lantern, and the Indigenous Fluoride Filter.
Photos coming soon...
The following is a copy of Prof. Cumberbatch's email to the Cooper community about the design expo:

In addition, the students were on German Public Radio, Russian TV, local
stations in the DC area etc etc.

Both projects funded by the EPA under their EPA P3 Award Scheme - SU833538 &
SU833551
Both Projects partially funded under NSF Grant OISE # 0553789
Both projects also benefited substantially from very generous private
donations to the Center for Sustainable Engineering, Art and Architecture -
Materials, Manufacturing and Minimalism. Without these donations, it would
not have been possible to get this far.
