Have you had the chance to visit our website recently? We've updated content. Don't miss the opportunity to go and check the 2 new projects that we are collaborating with:
1.- Democratization of science: together with a team of highly qualified engineers from Rio de Janeiro, we are trying to develop DIY Sustainable Solutions for communities.
2.- The life cap: Imagine if you could get a portable tiny antibacterial water filter that could be screwed into any plastic bottle and that would allow you to safely drink any available water, from a stream, from a lake or from a water pond? Imagine what it would mean for a poor family in Africa, Asia or Latin America to be able to get this filter for just $1? Check Mauricio's platform Makerboat to learn more about this project.
