The Innovative Global Solutions (IGS) enterprise will be traveling to Kenya in May 2022 to implement a nutrient management system to help improve their aquaponics system. These improvements will help make the system more reliable, and in turn supply more food for the community.

Stratus is a satellite mission being developed by students of the Michigan Tech Aerospace Enterprise. The satellite has a manifested launch through the NASA CubeSat Launch Initiative (CSLI). The build schedule has been delayed due to issues encountered during hardware assembly. The program is now...

Power independence at Beaver Island is very important because they are far from the main land and do not generate their own power. The Beaver Island community is focused on sustainability and reducing their carbon footprint so our goal is to give them an analysis on how they can use solar energy to...
