Please see the tentative course timeline presently being built. All course expectations can be found on the syllabus.

Please see the links below to the possible projects. During your projects, you will develop a new webpage and move the information to this new page. For more information, please see some of the links below and read over the projects from last year's class: Design 2015, the development theory class from last fall, and from earlier years on the Appropriate Technology Website. You are welcome to build off old projects, and to start new projects yourself. However, I make suggestions below for projects I personally emphasize and support.

Don't Throw Anything Away! and log your week-long saga on our Self Intervention Webpage

 * Water Filter Design, Winter 2016 || We are interested in designing biosand filters - both small (personal use) and large (village / small community). We plan to design and build filters based on the research conducted by last quarters class on [|Water for Cambodia] and our own research. The goal is to create a low cost design that allows many (if not all) materials to be sourced locally. ||  || Jordan Baxter
