The students of the Ghana, India, and Uganda programs presented the projects they’ve been working on throughout the semester.

GUEST SPEAKER: Marty Odlin from the Bamboo Bike Project. The Bamboo Bike Project aims to examine the feasibility of implementing cargo bikes made of bamboo as a sustainable form of transportation in Africa.

GUEST PERFORMER: Orisha!

A delightful night of networking , engineering buzz, and free Indian and Ethiopian food was enjoyed by all 200+ participants from the Columbia community and the EWB New York Professionals.
