This team of JBU students has recently been selected as the top 10% of teams worldwide to go to the UNAM CANSAT competition in Mexico City! They have been working on this project for months in their free time.

They still need additional travel funds in order to attend the competition. If you know of a company or individual who would like to support them, contact me or go to https://johnbrownuniversity.givingfuel.com/jbu-online-giving-page , select fund "Other", then type "CANSAT".

Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette covered Gunnar Shaffer ('14) and his company, Agrowponics, which started as a senior engineering design project. We are so proud of you, Gunnar!
