BLUElab at the University of Michigan is a student run organization that works to find sustainable solutions to development problems at home and abroad. We recognize that engineering students have a great deal to offer in the development of appropriate technology and we work to harness this expertise and apply it to real world problems.The team makes a difference by pursuing philanthropic design projects, sometimes including trips to Central America to implement prototypes.
