The contest said to "Innovate or Die" – and Team Aquaduct
lives! In fact, the San Bruno, California team – consisting of John
Lai, Adam Mack, Brian Mason, Eleanor Morgan, Paul Silberschatz – is
living in grand (prize) style today after winning the
first Innovate or Die Pedal-Powered Machine contest.
Team Aquaduct was declared the winner out of 102 entries by
building a unique and functional solution to provide rural
communities with access to clean water. The quintet will share the
$5,000 grand prize, and each will receive a Specialized Globe
bicycle – as will all five of the finalist runners-up (
winners).
The contest encouraged people to evaluate environmental issues and
develop ingenious solutions surrounding climate change. Many
original and inspiring ideas emerged; make sure to visit the
Innovate or Die page to view all of the entries.
