We have a double update!
Shortly after our first interview, we were able to sit down with Dr. Jonathan Herington and learn more about the ethical concerns that go into our project!
A huge thank you to Dr. Herrington for sharing his time and expertise with our team.

Mini Hardware Update!!
A couple days ago we had some exciting developments with a core component of our first sprayer prototype: the piezoelectric disk which vibrates at a frequency of 110 kHz, atomizing liquid. 🤯💦
Here is a video of our hardware manager, Sophia, testing it out!
