PROJECTS
 ACTIVE PERU HEALTH CLINIC
Shelter, Health, Education For our first international project we will design and construct a 6000 square foot health clinic in Belen town in the Upper Amazon Basin, located outside of Iquitos, Peru. It will serve about 75,000 people in the area by providing basic and emergency medical services and supplies, as well as health care education and training. |
GISP INTEGRATING ENERGY SCIENCE AND
Education, Energy This GISP was started through a collaborative effort between emPOWER and EWB. Members of both organizations were solicited for ideas about potential topics and ultimately, seven students set out to revolutionize the teaching of sustainability and renewable energy. Since it has begun, the GISP has undergone several changes. More information about what we're doing can be found on our website, which is linked on the project detail page. |
ACTIVE BIOGAS STOVES
Health, Energy Project Assida started in 2006 with the goal of replacing firewood stoves in Africa with biogas, in order to reduce gender based violence associated with wood gathering. Working in collaboration with EWB, we built a prototype digester in Massachusetts, then five students spent January in Tanzania implementing a nine stove pilot project with a partner NGO. The project is ongoing--we are currently evaluating the results from the pilot. |
ACTIVE OXFAM HOURGLASS
Food We are currently in the process of building a seven foot tall hourglass for Brown's chapter of OXFAM. It is required to drop a marble every 2.9 seconds, the rate at which children die from starvation. The hourglass is being constructed primarily out of acrylic panels and wood. We are currently missing a few key components for which we will be requesting funding in the fall. |
COMPLETED BROWN OUT PROGRAM
Education Through the Materials Research Science and Engineering award, CAMR coordinates the Classroom Module Program. This Program is designed to assist K-12 students, K-12 Teachers as well as Brown undergraduates, graduates or faculty members who participate. |

GISP LOW COST SOLAR COLLECTORS
Energy Many Central Asian countries would benefit from solar thermal collectors for water and space heating. High quality manufactured collectors such as in the are not available there. Basic materials such as wood, horsehair, sheet metal, glass, and black paint are. How well does a simple collector built of these perform compared to commercially manufactured collectors? The performance numbers and design parameter report would be something we could provide to local NGO's, local engineers, and teams who may eventually use them. |
