And, we\u0026#39;re not just talking energy efficiency.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EOn September 2-3, 2016, about 70 students gathered at the Georgia Tech Manufacturing Institute (GTMI) for the Sustainability Design-a-Thon sponsored by Engineers for a Sustainable World, Autodesk, GTMI and GT\u0026#39;s Serve-Learn-Sustain. On\u0026nbsp;the first evening, students were treated to dinner while learning about Autodesk Fusion 360. Next was a workshop on sustainable design thinking. Finally, students were given a prompt for beginning the design competition.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EStudents were asked to design a more sustainable breakfast product that helps support a better product lifecycle. They had\u0026nbsp;24 hours and had to build the design in Fusion360.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ETeams worked throughout the day on Saturday getting ready for presentations and judging at 6 p.m. Judges had to pick three winners from all of the stellar work done by students.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAnd\u0026hellip;the winners were:\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EFirst Place - The Hawdaire Stove, a universal kitchen attachment for pellet stoves. Designed by Atticus Huberts, Royal Dcunha and Varun Nambiar, the Hawdaire Stove\u0026nbsp;directs heat from a pellet stove through a stove-like appliance that can be used for cooking.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESecond Place - Tom\u0026#39;s Cooking Pot, a utensil for outdoor cooking with propane or a wood fire. Students Matthew Brasselle and Trevor Brasselle designed the pot to be multifunctional, have efficient heat transfer, be compact and able to operate with one hand.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThird Place - Auto Breakfast, an\u0026nbsp;appliance that can make pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, tea, smoothies and more, all in a coffee maker-sized, eco-sustainable device. Students Joel Cheng, Adam Shah and Ayush Agrawal designed it to be multifunctional and high tech, with wifi features and the ability to program it with a smart phone or laptop.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAccording to Jeff Smith of Autodesk, \u0026quot;GTMI has been a wonderful partner with Autodesk. This was our third event working with GTMI.\u0026quot; He added, \u0026quot;Holding these competitions are a great way to get students to think fast and act on their designs.\u0026quot;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":[{"value":"High Tech, High Touch Designs for Everyday Cooking Use"}],"field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"At a competition on September 2, 2016, three teams of GT students took honors for their sustainable product designs."}],"uid":"28069","created_gmt":"2016-10-13 18:09:47","changed_gmt":"2016-10-18 18:09:08","author":"Laura Day","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2016-10-13T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2016-10-13T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.manufacturing.gatech.edu","title":"Georgia Tech Manufacturing Institute"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/","title":"Autodesk"}],"groups":[{"id":"155831","name":"Georgia Tech Manufacturing Institute (GTMI)"}],"categories":[{"id":"145","name":"Engineering"}],"keywords":[{"id":"38351","name":"Advanced Manufacturing"},{"id":"94431","name":"Georgia Tech Manufacturing Institute (GTMI)"}],"core_research_areas":[{"id":"39531","name":"Energy and Sustainable Infrastructure"},{"id":"39461","name":"Manufacturing, Trade, and Logistics"}],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003ETina Guldberg\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nGTMI Director of Strategic Partnerships\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\ntina.guldberg@gatech.edu\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["tina.guldberg@gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
