Robert Sang presented his alma mater with the chance for a partnership.\u00a0 The USF students\u00a0could teach and coach the Ashton students on how to perform real life Engineering practice while working with rainwater catchment systems.\u00a0 An immediate connection was made with the 9th grade Earth Science class who was already discussing water and the various ways it impacts and is impacted by earth and humans.\u00a0 A partnership was formed and the 9th graders would go on to learn from and work with these University students.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-grid type_grid

they problem solved on the fly.\u00a0 The earth science class got to see first hand what the Engineering students do in everyday life.\u00a0 They were able to not only get training, but also ask questions about university and life as an engineering student.\u00a0 As the trips arrived students were prepped to test water, engage with the community, and report back the data which will be used to gauge the performance of these rain water catchment systems.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div data-removefontsize=\"true\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"16\">Throughout the project, the students also got to learn about Miramar, a small community (barrio) sitting on the hillsides just on the outskirts of Miches.\u00a0 On certain streets you could see the turquoise ocean and strips of white sands far off in the distance.\u00a0 Along the winding dirt and rock paths were built small houses, many no bigger than the average persons living room.\u00a0 In the whole community there was only one source of running water.\u00a0 A small hose across the street from the colmado, letting out just a weak stream.\u00a0 The fading blue community center had old desks, wooden benches, and a dirt floor.\u00a0 But the community itself was filled with vibrant people and led by a Don who helped the students locate everything they needed.\u00a0 The systems were located in 6 spots throughout the community, each collecting water from rain that falls down the roof and into PVC pipe.\u00a0 The pipes then flows down into a tinaco where residents can access the water for cleaning, washing, and other household uses.<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-grid type_grid layout_gallery_default cols_3 valign_center\" id=\"us_grid_2\"><style>#us_grid_2 .w-grid-item{padding:1.5rem}#us_grid_2

itself.\u00a0 The students were broken up into two trips.\u00a0 First the A section, then the B section.\u00a0 Both groups gathered water from each of the 5 rain water catchment systems.\u00a0 (The 6th system had been disassembled as the roof was going to be replaced.)\u00a0 This water pulled from each tinaco was then brought back to the lab where tests were done to determine bacteria and metal levels as well as pH.\u00a0 In the trip, Ashton Students engaged community members with surveys to get a better understanding of how they obtain water, how well the systems are working, and various other helpful information.\u00a0 Instruction manuals and maintenance logs were also shared by students with owners of the homes where the Water catchment systems were located.\u00a0 Locations for new future rain water catchment systems was also made by students as they walked around the community\u00a0 \u00a0And to conclude the trip, students shared sodas with the community members who were able to be present.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_small\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row

and improve the Miches trip.\u00a0 We came in blind but we came out happy with what we were able to do given the circumstances and limited previous knowledge.\u00a0 In the next few years we look to be able to have the USF engineering students join us and give in person training.\u00a0 Our hope is also to expand the number of systems with the help of the Engineering students.\u00a0 While we for sure hope to be able to spend more time doing science and engineering in future trips, the community was very welcoming and we hope to be able to spend more time getting to know them and creating a partnership on a personal level.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-grid type_grid layout_gallery_default cols_3 valign_center\" id=\"us_grid_3\"><style>#us_grid_3
