About
Faculty and staff volunteers, as well as students from Pratt’s Foundation program – a community experience which brings together first year art and design majors to develop creative skills and build relationships together – will be serving as judges for Open House projects. Research winners will be selected in four categories: Impact, Innovation, Sustainability, and Start Up Power, and will receive a cash prize in recognition. The public will also be invited to vote and select a People’s Choice Award. Previous winners include:
- Grassroots Cactivism: promotes use of the Nopales cactus as a sustainable crop for food and packaging
- Ariane Lourie Harrison’s Pollinators Pavilion: an architectural space that doubles as a visitor center and home for bees vital to pollination
- Ami Cai’s Song Searching, a STEAMplant project, uses gaming technology to encourage players to navigate through ocean noise pollution as a humpback whale
