What can high school students propose to improve drinking water?

Students at All Hallows High School in Bronx, New York answered the question in the first Innovation & Entrepreneurship Exercise

The Prompt:

You have been hired to work as a member of a team to design a solution to address continuing water safety issues in Puerto Rico. Over the last several years, Puerto Rico has faced dramatic challenges with the maintenance of its electrical infrastructure and water filtration systems.

Thanks to The City University of New York Professor Christine Mooney for her hard work and mentorship of the group.
