Our project was to design a laptop with a 3D printed case, with the goals of eliminating manufacturing waste and the need for expensive repairs. Our laptop also allows for complete customization, so that every user can print a laptop that fits all of their needs. One major aspect of our laptop is that it
With technology advancing at an exponential rate, it is likely that virtual reality will soon become a integral part of life simply due to the fact it is applicable in so many areas. The purpose of our research was to perform a synthesis of virtual reality exercise research in order to gain a stronger understanding

In fact, the hagfish has a common nickname of the “slime eel” for good reason. When the hagfish is under attack, it
The topic is ways to reduce household food waste. One method was to covert used cooking oil into soap. The soap was projected to kill 50+% of bacteria. Food Waste
