Hydrologic Part 3- The Ringer

For our final episode of the Hydrologic Series (Phew!),  Our team: Angelica Benitez, Victoria Benitez, Cuicani Lopez and Daniela Catalan,  called on environmental industrial designer and long time friend of Connectopod, Stella Hernandez, to share her wisdom and experiences solving issues in water challenged communities here and abroad. We invited her to do her presentation at St. Euprhasia, where our friends The Incredibots (whom you met in the last episode), are working on their own solutions for water issues for the First Lego League Competition. Share the Love! The Connectopod Team presents you with the highlights of Stella's presentation.

Thank you Stella!

Here is a little bit about Stella:

Designer Stella Hernandez and other faculty members directed the project "Safe Agua" with fellow students at the Art Center in Pasadena. Many years later, their designs of water collection systems have made an impact in challenged communities in Chile, Colombia, and Peru. She teaches different design classes at Art center and participates in social design projects. Safe Agua has been awarded different design awards and has been exhibited at many institutions including the Copper Hewitt design museum in NY.
