Why did the New York City DROP Summit rock? Probably because of all those steallar projects (we'll write some blogs about this later), amazing participants (seriously, the ideas were flowing), and totally engaged partners (the workshops were very exciting and very informative)

Big thanks to the Mayor Bloomberg's office for donating the water bottles.

Parsons The New School for Design, Communications, Design and Technology Department helped welcome the students as well as helping to co-sponsor the entire event. They also had two student projects on display- One was a projection piece displaying the liters of water it takes to produce and apple, and a hamburger. Check it Out. Pretty crazy huh? This is changing my mind on becoming a vegetarian, or eating way less meat. (7 liters to produce an apple, 4,700 liters of water to produce a hamburger)

One of the other Parsons projects that I thought was interesting was the "water is" piece which was a projection of water bubbles. You got a number to text on your phone and one of the bubbles would essentially POP and tell you an interesting fact on water.

We encouraged all the participants to check out these projects throughout the day and I really thought it added that extra pizazz that we were looking for.

More to come on all the sweet projects....
