Fwd: Deadline extended for Innovate for Impact: Siemens Design Challenge

FYI Best Regards, Ishtiaque *[P.S. (March 15, 2020, and onward): My response may be late because of my engagement with the COVID-19 response teams in Canada, Bangladesh, and Australia. I appreciate your patience.]* Syed Ishtiaque Ahmed Assistant Professor Department of Computer Science University of Toronto, ON, CA Ph: +1 647 220 3482 Skype: syed.ishtiaque.ahmed web: https://www.ishtiaque.net/ My Availability: Google Calendar Link <https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=ishtiaque.uoft%40gmail.com&c…> ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Research EngineeringForChange <research(a)engineeringforchange.org> Date: Thu, Apr 9, 2020 at 1:46 PM Subject: Deadline extended for Innovate for Impact: Siemens Design Challenge To: Dear Colleague, We hope this email finds you well. During these uncertain times, E4C is committed to advancing technology for good. We encourage you and your students to use this downtime under orders to stay home and do something that matters <https://bit.ly/2WWKdHA>. Today we are halfway through the application period for a design challenge intended to solve two critical global problems. The Siemens Design Challenge <https://bit.ly/2WWKdHA>, in collaboration with E4C, calls for a better means of desalinating brackish water and new ways to reduce post-harvest food losses. The challenge was developed before COVID-19 escalated, but the solutions it calls for can support isolated communities and reduce the spread of this and future diseases. We encourage you to mobilize your community to Innovate for Impact and promote the challenge to your networks with our convenient Social Media Kit <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aUjOOB2jEn_lsigyDZRDrf5PTIJrfxkxRoz27KE…> . This is a step we can take now, for better health during future outbreaks and to meet the basic human needs of adequate food and water. Siemens has made its Solid Edge 3D CAD software freely available to students and professors taking part in the challenge, and for use in future design projects. This is a chance to sharpen your CAD skills while improving lives in underserved communities. If you don’t have a solution in mind, no problem. Students and experts with relevant skills can register now and join a team to help develop their ideas. We can do this. All the best, Engineering for Change
