Engineering for the Environment
"Do you want to find creative solutions to fix global problems?" - Justin Sather 

INSPIRED BY A TRUE STORY
 

Justin was inspired to become an engineer after reading the true story of William Kamkwamba, a young boy in Malawi who built a working windmill from scrap materials to bring electricity and water to his village during a devastating drought.

 

William’s story showed Justin that engineering isn’t just about building things—it’s about using creativity, determination, and whatever resources you have to solve real-world problems and help others.

WHAT IS "ENGINEERING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT" 
 
Engineering for the Environment is about using creativity, innovation, and engineering to find solutions to the environmental challenges facing our world...

                           Think BIG.            Think INNOVATION.          Think NEW.             Think SOLUTIONS

FROM INSPIRATION TO INNOVATION
 

Justin put that philosophy into action

Refrigerator - Now an Incubator!

Rashid and Ali have been busy "recreating" by turning a refrigerator into an incubator.  They are both "engineers" and "problem solvers."

Boyan Slat and the Interceptor

Working with Boyan Slat and The Ocean Cleanup bring The Interceptor Boat to Los Angeles and Ballona Creek.

Precious Plastic Bowls

Dave Hawkins and Precious Plastic inspired Justin to take on his first BIG plastic recycling and repurposing project.  

Buddy Bench

200 pounds of plastic caps!!!  Tons of effort to build a bench for Justin's Elementary School.  

Inspired by Galileo Camps

Justin's passion for creating, building, and engineering started at an early age.  And thanks to galilep camps, Justin and many other future engineers have a place to experiment.
