Biography
I chanced upon the MakerSpace my freshman year, nothing important happened before that.
I live in the Mezzanine area, and sleep on the couch there. I spend a lot of time in the MakerSpace, I'm not really sure what happens in that time, but somehow I always end up with cool stuff that didn't exist before. See portfolio below.

NASA Big Idea Challenge
As a result of my MakerSpace activities, I was a member of a Tulane design team organized to answer NASA's BIG Idea Challenge for 2017. Our answer was titled The Sunflower: A Modular and Hexagonally Symmetric SEP Cargo Transport Spacecraft. The Sunflower was an innovative new concept that designed and modeled for in-space assembly of a modular solar powered spacecraft to move cargo from Low Earth Orbit to Lunar Distant Retrograde Orbit and eventually Mars. We were proclaimed finalists in December of 2016. We were announced as the first place winners out of 28 teams from across the country in February of 2017 after presenting to a panel of NASA experts at the Langley Research Center along with the other finalists. We made heavy use of the MakerSpace in making our design. Below is more information regarding the project along with other media surrounding our successes in the competition.
