Scott and I recently had the opportunity to talk about our experience with the Pepper Eater Project at the launch event for EngineeringForChange.org. The event was hosted by Engineering for Change (E4C), AndSpace, and Catapult Design at the Hub Bay Area in SF’s SOMA district.

Supported by Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), E4C has the potential to be a great tool for projects like ours to connect, collaborate, solve challenges and share knowledge. Check out a summary and photos from the event, which also featured lots of other cool organizations working on appropriate technology design from around the Bay Area.
