UIUC Sustainable E-Waste Design Competition

Display and judging of entries in UIUC’s Sustainable E-Waste Design Competition occurred today on the Quad. I was tremendously impressed with the ingenuity and creativity of the particpants. There were some really innovative projects that not only used materials that would have otherwise been landfilled, but also were functional, useful, and attractive. I don’t envy the judges. They’ll have some tough decisions to make this afternoon.

For more information about the competion, see the competition website. The Daily Illini also ran a story about the contest in their April 2 issue.
