As an engineering student deeply passionate about utilising interdisciplinary research and engineering for driving societal change, the depth of impact and learning that the Solar Decathlon offered more than satisfied me. Testing our mettle on several fronts from engineering aptitude to collaborative flexibility, the whole process was as rewarding as it was rigorous. From interactions with professional mentors and curious general public alike, we got very real, practical insight into what environmental sustainability meant to everyone's own lives and that inspired significant introspection too. Overall, I hope to utilise what I have learnt and come to appreciate in my future endeavors and designs as an aspiring embedded systems/ machine-learning engineer as well as to facilitate sustainable lifestyles and education in general.
