          Meet the Cooper student teams that have already received grants from M&G!

        • Fall 2021 Grant Winner: Cooper Purple

          We are proud to announce Cooper Purple: Seokwoo (Ryan) Chung (ME '25), Julian Lam (ChE '25), Joonhyuk Woo (Arch '26), and Kyle Ku as the recipient of our Fall 2021 Grant!

          Cooper Purple strives to create new fashionable and customizable clothing and items from various recycled materials. Currently, they are experimenting with discarded clothing, but will also branch out with raw materials like discarded wood or bamboo to create biodegradable and environment-friendly material. Their final goal is to use recycled, biodegradable materials to create a wide variety of fashionable products.

        • Fall 2021 Starter Grant Winner: Bettercharge

          We are proud to announce team Bettercharge, consisting of Daniel Zaretsky (ME'24) and Maya Grutman (ME'24) as the recipient of our Fall 2021 Starter Grant!

           

          Their goal is to prevent single use batteries from ending up in landfills. They hope to do this by setting up a network of battery recycling bins in local businesses to make the process more convenient for the average consumer. They aim to reuse certain battery components for future batteries and recycle the components that remain.

        • Spring 2021 Starter Grant Winner: Ekosfere

          Ekosfere was founded in January 2021 by Irisa (EE '21) and Ana Llana to bring natural, sustainable products to NYC's masses. Providing personal care, cleaning, and beauty products Ekosfere aims to show customers how easy it is to be sustainable. They will even deliver bulk refills to your apartment door! Ekosfere has already opened a pop-up store in Bryant Park, launched their website, and will be moving into a new storefront space soon.

        • Fall 2020 Grant Winner: Cutouts

          Team CUTOUTs is a team of Cooper electrical and mechanical engineering students, consisting of Kevin Kerliu (EE '21). Eugene Jeong (ME '23) and Hans Kiessling (ME '24). We aim to create a more sustainable future by addressing the wastefulness of the current cardboard industry - our planet cannot keep up with it for much longer. With the help of our mentors at Maroon and Gold Labs and our own distinct backgrounds, we hope to solve this problem by reusing wastepaper to create a competitor in the cardboard industry.

          Team B.U.S. consists of Jesse Hall, Tyler Pelayo, Dipto Saha, and Colin Hwang (all EE '24). They are creating energy-efficient solar-powered displays that will help alert commuters about real-time bus arrival times.
