Photo Update!

Hello Everyone!

The team has been hard at work with building a lot of the compartments for the van. Here are a few picture of where we are and a glance at the things that have been done.

The outrageously awesome lights the EE's in our team worked on. Now while working on the van, it'll be easier to see everything!


On the left side, there's the sink. That is mostly complete, we just need to work on the plumbing. 
On the right side, there is a storage compartment,where we plan to place some medical equipment. 


Just another view. Off to the side of the sink, you can vaguely see the black tool box. We'll be using that to put a lot of medical supplies in as well. & Lastly, next to the toolbox is the refrigerator.


More pictures will be up soon!

Have a great day!

  • Manual centrifuge (4-15mL tubes)

  • Ophthalmoscope

  • Microscope (Lab quality, 1000 X)

  • Phlebotomy equipment
