Design Contest!!
From MPP SES
Update:
We've come a long way since this. Contact Kat Donnelly at kdonnelly@empowerdevices.com
WIN Up to $3,000 Showing off your Engineering Prowess!
We need you to design a system that will read the electricity consumption of a household, convert this to a digital signal, and send that data to a central database. Sound intriguing? We have ideas for the design, but maybe you’ll come up with something even better!
If you come up with the best design (with all the technical details worked out), not only will you win up to $1500, but you’ll also have the opportunity to be hired by the MIT Media Lab to build your prototype (expenses paid) for an additional $1500.
Application Deadline: Let us know you’re interested by January 3, 2008^
Phase One—Project Design Deadline: Midnight, January 23, 2008
