16 PCB007 MAGAZINE I APRIL 2019 "We learned how to use many new ma- chines, including the horizontal band saw and laser cutter, which were both very helpful for our device," commented the team. "We also learned the importance of rest in the design process. We came back to work more energized and eager to continue," they added. Moving forward, the team wants to "try and iterate on our design to make it work even better." Conclusion By the end of MakeHarvard 2019, the entire Sunstone team was exhausted but overjoyed by the success of the event. We saw numer- ous prototypes and met so many enthusiastic students, and the event was a great success. We are already busy discussing next year's MakeHarvard makeathon and how we can help make it better. Interested in being a pos- sible sponsor next year? Email makeharvard@ gmail.com.

We wouldn't be surprised if this de- vice or something similar to it becomes widely used in rapid prototyping. Team 46 said, "We are incredibly proud of the work in our iOS AR app and our use of the microcontroller as a wireless network handler. No one on our team had any prior experience in AR or app development, so we learned a lot of technical skills related to these fields." When asked about future plans, they explained, "We hope to continue prototyping and to develop our software and hardware to complete more complex tasks." CocoGogo We were also impressed by the CocoGogo hand-cranked coconut shredder, though for different reasons than many of the other pro- totypes. CocoGogo was built in response to an opportunity one of the team's members saw when they lived in Tanzania where women spent hours shredding coconut by hand. The team behind the device proved design skills and a willingness to challenge the assumed rules could result in a simple solution. The PVC pipes, joints, and wooden box making up the shredder didn't involve software, yet the device won the Best Overall Award and the Kid's Choice Awards sponsored by Infosys. Team members included Jeremy Skoler, Mia Skaggs, Caroline Rausch, and Maal Bhat. Figure 7: The audience members enjoying one of the sponsor's presentations.
