Summer Engineering Project

Engineering Project with Essex County 4H: Leader Matt Cauthorn got the Excite award from MIT. He has a grant to develop a course filter to be fitted over fine water filter. His grant is for kids to help him build this. The water filters are used in the 3rd world but require stability in water for the fine filter to work optimally.  He will be building the filter this summer and testing it and will gladly take any kid who is interested to work on the project. The device needs to be light weight and made from materials easily available in the 3rd world. The schedule will be "around his summer haying work." Those interested in this project will need to be flexible. Some of this work is being done at other universities, especially in Australia.
