Lets achieve great things
ASME E-Fests
Fueling my ambitions
Whaat is ASME E-Fest?
ASME E-Fests are conference held by schools that hold an ASME chapter, multiple activites occur to promote engineering education and competition. There are numerous workshops and presentation by Professors and Engineering Professionals as well as competitions such as the IAM3D challenge, Student Design Competition, Human Powered Vehicle, and a at competition event named the Rapid Innovation Challenge.The UF chapter competes in the East regional competition which was held at Tennessee Tech in 2017.
The Rapid Innovation Challenge
The 24hr Rapid Innovation Challenge was the competition IÂ participated in at 2017 E-Fest. The goal is to provide a design concept and start-up gameplan in 24hrs. The topic was to design a device to aid kids dealing with hand dystrophy. The design 3 team members and I came up with was a bracelet that had a rigid ball and socket to help keep a pencil or eating utensil stable.

Outcome and Future Goals
My team would end up winning 1st place with our concept and won prizes donated by Mathworks (created MATLAB). This success as well as noticing that the only competition that UF did not compete in was the IAM3D challenge lead me to taking the leap into creating/running my own design team.
