February

  • February 29:
    • Application for iGEM is sent
    • A team of four master students is assembled under guidance of PI Wim

March

  • March 03: Brainstorming for subjects starts
  • March 24: PI's Marjan and Yves join the team

April

  • April 22: Three subjects are chosen, and a presentation is prepared

May

  • May 03: Our iGEM application is officially accepted
  • May 04: Presentation on possible subjects for PI Wim
  • May 06: Six PhD students and one advisor join our team
  • May 17: First meeting
  • May 31: We have our subject!
    • The work gets divided into four work packages, and team members are assigned

June

  • June 15: Fablab is contacted to be a partner for 3D printing our collector, they accepted
  • June 29: Abstract is written and added to site

July

  • July 07:
    • Our Facebook and Twitter page are live
    • A first draft of a 'sponsor letter' is made
  • July 18: Our stay in America has been booked
  • July 19: Work package 'shape' decides to use Autodesk Fusion 360 to shape the water collector
  • July 22: Prof Dan Fernandez (CSUMB), who makes fog catchers, is interested to work with us

August

  • August 01: First 3D model of water collector prototype: dome with a gutter to collect the water. Printed the first prototype.
    ShapeV1
    ShapeV1Print
  • August 04: New water collector shape with holes to distribute the water.
    ShapeV2
  • August 15: The info video is made and put on the website
  • August 22: A brainstorm on how to stack the collectors (not geometrically feasible :( ).
    ShapeV2
  • August 30: Our first batch of PLA is delivered. Brainstorming on a new stackable water collector. Only holes on the bottom and top with a cavity under the dome.

September

  • September 01:
    • The first batch of biotin is delivered: the work on the filament can begin!
      Biotin

    • Steven, our advisor, met up with the EPFL team in Lausanne, Switserland. They immediately bonded
      Steven with the Lausanne team
  • September 06: The first batch of our filament is made.
  • September 07: We collaborated with the iGEM Virginia team by filling in their survey
  • September 13:
    • We all got to know the EPFL team better, as they conducted a Skype interview with us
      Skype interview Lausanne
    • Dewpal has been chosen as name
    • New version of the water collector designed: stackable and internal water distribution.
  • September 14:
    • We printed three different prototypes of our water collector
  • September 15: Our crowdfunding page is live!
  • September 18: We made a temperature and humidity sensor with a Raspberry Pi so we can observe the environment while testing our 3D shape
    Skype interview Lausanne
  • September 20: The water collector without biotin was tested for its water collecting efficiency
  • September 21: We met with Winnie from ReaGent
  • September 23:
    • We met with Deepak from 3dee, who gave us some amazing advice on how to enhance our 3D shape
    • Our filament group went to Timelab to make a batch of filament
      Making filament at Timelab
  • September 24: We made an experimental set up with a humidifier and our temperature and humidity sensor (cf. 15/09) to test the water collection of our shape
    Humidifier set up
  • September 26: We tried our INP: it works!
  • September 29: A logo has been designed. Shape design now includes a screw cap to fit on a plastic bottle.

October

  • October 01: Developed a new 3D design, with an active surface area that is almost 20 times larger than the previous (third) version
    Water collector version 4
  • October 02: New 3D design made by weaving ribbons (let the inner artist go!).
    Water collector version 4
  • October 07: 3Ders did a press article on our project
  • October 26: We're off to America!
