Hello Faculty, Students and Staff,

We have recently received funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates 
Foundation to further our work on a low cost pearl millet thresher 
intended for use by small shareholder farmers in sub-Saharan 
Africa.Students, faculty, and visiting professionals will work together 
to produce at least 3 thresher prototypes suitable for extended 
field-testing during the latter half of 2014. Design mentors will 
include Mike Augspurger www.oneoffhandcycle.com 
<http://www.oneoffhandcycle.com>, Roo Trimble www.roopod.com 
<http://www.roopod.com>, Bob Cann, Aaron Cantrell and Jake Horsey. 
Students in this class have a great opportunity to work as part of 
skilled teams with focused goals.

Highly motivated students interested in applied design, anthropology and 
agriculture are encouraged to consider taking this class. We are looking 
for resourceful people who want to design and build prototypes, and 
importantly -- help evaluate if this design concept is worthwhile, and 
to document and quantify the work we do.


Here is the full course description and application questions - due 
Tuesday January 14th.  Please contact Donna Cohn dcohn at hampshire.edu 
<mailto:dcohn at hampshire.edu> with any questions.
