We did it! As mentioned in my last blog post, the Blue Team and I submitted our “Save the Water Pipes” project to the China-US Young Maker competition for a chance to compete in China. As of July 11, 2016, our team has been selected as one of the top 10 semi-finalists to compete in China for the Intel-sponsored hackathon.
Thanks to everyone for your continued support, and thanks to my team members, Eric Richardson and Crystal Gannon, for all your hard work.
Wish us luck in China!

Hi Manuel! My team and I are definitely going to China in August (less than 1 month away), as we have been selected, along with 9 other semi-finalists. 🙂 We are very lucky to get to the next stage of this contest. The final stage of the contest will take place in China, where the grand prize is $15000 USD for the winning team. Wish us luck! https://www.hackster.io/challenges/chinausyoungmakercompetition/faq . Thank you for your continued support! 😀
