    Full Description: 

    MIT students, including MechE Alum Michelle Kornberg, and researchers from MIT Sea Grant work with local oyster farmers in advancing the aquaculture industry by seeking solutions to some of its biggest challenges. A combination of mechanical engineering, ocean engineering, and electrical engineering, and computer sciences students work together to design a robot to help with flipping oyster bags at Ward Aquafarm on Cape Cod.
