Research

Kroka Expeditions X NuVu Innovation School is a student-facilitated and led collaboration, engineered to maximize impact and learning. Over the span of four weeks, our group brainstormed and implemented an improved pulley system and created a rocket stove for the staff village. In addition, we proposed a major improvement to Kroka's firewood drying process, which would drastically increase efficiency, both in time to dry and in carbon release when burned.

Our Kroka collaboration is the first project where I felt like I was truly self-driven. I pioneered the relationship with a multi-million-dollar client organization and followed through on (most) of what we said we would do. As a group, we overcame massive logistical challenges related to working with a client over 100 miles away. I improved most, if not all of my project management skills related to time management and logistics. In addition, I utilized and expanded my researching skills while experimenting with different concepts, each of which was bounced off of the client and other coaches at NuVu. I also learned to appreciate the difficulty in masonry work by building systems designed to last. All in all, this was a successful project for both the client, my group and myself.
