Innocentive and Updates

Hi everyone! I hope your Thanksgiving break is going nicely.  Some updates: Erica, Karina, Fionn, and I recently submitted to the Conrad Spirit of Innovation Awards, and were chosen as semifinalists! Our project is a drug testing strip that can be dipped into drinks to avoid unwanted ingestion of drugs.  

As for the Innocentive, it's on making quieter trucks in a city environment.  https://www.innocentive.com/ar/challenge/9933270
How can we make trucks quieter?  Post ideas in the comments.

Enjoy the rest of break!

  1. My partial idea is that electric vehicles are much quieter than nonelectric. Sooo...maybe if we could replace some noisy parts with quieter electric parts?

  2. We could also look into a type of oil/substance that makes the parts run smoother so that there's less friction? Thoughts?
