"We wanted to make something simple yet useful. Our design is intended to cut down waste by making effective use of trashbags in industry. To do this, we created a fixture in order to fully maximize the effective area of a trash bag. By doing this, air doesnt get caught under the bag, which, for starters makes it easier to tie bags into trash bins. Also, it makes it to where the bag is fully expanded, so you get the max capacity of a trash bag. This not only save money, but also reduces the amount of plastic in the environment over time by a bit"

"We worked on this project in order to create a device that could be used in simulation labs. It feels counterproductive for medical students to see their instructor tampering with devices they would later check for issues. With these devices, we can simulate random occurance by having the instructor tamper with the devices remotely. It would make a more realistic situation, giving more of a real world feeling to the simulation labs."
