From Sept. 21–24, a glass cube was installed on North Court (by the Stata Center) as part of a collaboration between the MIT Innovation Initiative and the ETH Zurich Entrepreneur Club called InCube. Jordan Harrod G, Eswar Anandapadmanaban ’19, Erica Yuen G, Samuel Solomon ’20, and Paolo Adajar ’21 were confined to the cube for 96 hours as they competed against other student cubes around the world to rethink the ambulance of the future. The students’ final presentation, held in Zurich, will place them in front of a live audience and jury.
Update 10/1/18: Eswar Anandapadmanaban is from the Class of 2019 and is not a graduate student, while Erica Yuen is now a graduate student. Furthermore, the person who was identified as Anandapadmanaban in the photos is actually Thomas Luly from the MIT Innovation Initiative.
