Hi again all,
Sorry, I missed one important announcement! See below.
-Andrew
Habitat for Humanity, one of our longest partnerships, has a charity bike ride in May called Cover Indiana. (https://www.hfhcoverindiana.org/ ) The Habitat student chapter is one of the
sponsors. Prof. Oakes, Director of EPICS, is riding the first two days which is called the “Taste of the Cover” and he invites any other EPICS students to join him. It starts Sunday, May 6th, right after finals are done. Prof. Oakes will be riding
May 6-7 and there are rides back to Lafayette. If you want to ride the whole 7 days, you are welcome to with the other students from the chapter. The Habitat student chapter is a main sponsor and there are several other students who ride as part of the
chapter. The cost is $20 per day for students and you are expected to fundraise $75 per day. Prof. Oakes will sponsor one day ($75) for any EPICS students who ride and notify him that they are riding (oakes@purdue.edu)

Delivering This Semester?
If your team plans to deliver your project this semester, be sure to complete the EPICS delivery checklist. This includes projects that have final deliverables of non-tangible products (project plans, formal recommendations,
etc). Find more information on the delivery process at
https://engineering.purdue.edu/EPICS/teams/team-documents/project-delivery. Remember, without a checklist, you will not receive an EPICS delivery t-shirt.
EPICS Maymester –
Riley and Racing
In this immersive design course, students will be working to design and develop interactive features for the newly installed Indy 500 wall wrap at Riley Children’s Hospital. Students will rotate with doctors to
gain a deeper understanding of the patients and Dr. Chuck’s mission to help children who have endured traumatic accidents heal faster by making their experience at the hospital fun and interactive. Students will also experience the world famous Indy 500 by
attending racecar practices, the lights race, pit stop contest, and interactive museum tours to inspire ideas for their designs. See attached flier for details.
Social Media
We love seeing your photos and videos of your projects! Please tag us on Facebook and Twitter with your posts to share with us. Follow us on LinkedIn to stay connected so we can be sure you receive invites to come
back for events, especially as design reviewers, after graduation.
