I have been part of an event organized by my school in which we had the opportunity to create a startup in a constrained amount of time. With two friends we thought of making astro-photography more affordable and accessible to everybody.
I had the opportunity to participate in the ActInSpace Hackathon, which was organized by the French Space Agency (CNES), ESA and the aerospace valley. During fourty-four intensive hours of work, we had the opportunity to work on a real problem of the outerspace industry. The goal was to create a startup that proposes a small and lightweight solar array that do not rely on mechanical parts. The jury was composed of experts from the space industry, and we were able to present our project to them. We did not win the first prize of the hackathon, but I learned a lot about project management and creating a business plan.
left below is the presentation of our project, the TSS.
As being aware of all the mechanisms involved in the global warming is primordial.
We have done focus groups in which we have tried to understand all the way this all works.
As the pinnacle of this brainstorming session, we have produced this "fresque" that try to explain these mechanisms.
A test that evaluates our basic understanding of the current global challenges and our responsibility in resolving them.
We were a group of seven preparing a project linked with ENSSEIHT student life and sustainable development. Then, emerged Heat7: A project that takes the heat from the kitchen of the CROUS, and through a system of filters and piping, it injects the heat into the dining room for all students. The excess heat could also be sent to other buildings. Eventually, this project could reduce N7's electricity consumption.
