The De Florez Award Competition

Last week, our team applied for the De Florez Award, which awards MIT Mechanical Engineering students for innovations in design and/or science.

We presented our stove at the competition on May 6th, 2010. We ended up earning 3rd place for Undergraduate Design, winning $1500 cash and student editions of SolidWorks for our 4 team members!


Receiving an award and prize money is very exciting to say the least! It means that people actually like our product, they think it's innovative, and they want us to keep pushing forward with it. It's the "You're on the right track, keep going!" stamp of approval. Besides making us just FEEL more legit, it means we actually have money to fuel this project this summer and fall!


This was our submission video to the competition:


Here is one (very poor quality) photo of us ladies at the competition, manning our booth:
