These are some of my group members during testing of the project. It worked better than we could have hoped. It definately shows our desire to help someone in need.

ME 270 See-Saw Grain Grinder

This project was done my sophomore year. It was created with the help of Ben McNeil, Paul Dobbie, and Parker Wells. The original see-saw concept was my idea, and I think it demonstrates my compassion. This project was created in order to solve a problem in a third world country. In this case the country was Mali, and the team realized that children were spending hours each day grinding millet. With this original design children can play and still grind their family's daily food in half the time they normally do.
