The 3D Printed Earth Hackathon, led by the Natural Materials Lab at Columbia GSAPP and Carleton Lab at Columbia Engineering, was a collaborative workshop with Green SAPP, a student organization focused on climate and sustainability initiatives.
​
As the Co-chair of Green SAPP, I spearheaded the organization of this workshop and had the privilege of actively participating in it. Throughout the hackathon, our team delved into research to create a new mixture of earth-based clay. Subsequently, we designed a parametric column intended for large-scale 3D printing at the Carleton Lab.
This experience provided us with valuable insights into the operation of industrial machinery and taught us the meticulous preparation of materials and code necessary for the machinery’s proper functioning.
