Carbon Crowd – Epiphyte Build #1: Hello World!

Carbon Crowd kicks off with a 2-month build of Epiphyte, an OpenAir member developed and designed open source direct air capture (DAC) machine that was inspired by the Octavia Carbon team’s work in Kenya. Every Wednesday our global maker community is invited to tune in for updates and ideas, as we track the progress and completion of our very first prototype from the the University of Pennsylvania Chemical Engineering Department in Philadelphia, PA!

How Carbon Crowd works – 

• Every 2 months our global community will build a new instance of Epiphyte with a new team at a new site somewhere in the world.
• Each new build will focus on a specific problem, optimization or augmentation that represents design improvement and evolution.
• Our distributed community can tune in every Wednesday at 1pm ET for a progress report from the build team, and to offer ideas and help on how to trouble-shoot problems and surface new design ideas.

All are welcome, and participants are invited to share their knowledge and insights, or just pop in and watch!
