Durham School team among winners at JUMP into STEM competition

Feb. 17, 2023 - A Durham School of Architectural Engineering and Construction team of undergraduate architectural engineering students - Anu Adeyemo, Danika Ratnapradipa, and Julia Ehlers - was chosen as one of four winning teams from this year's JUMP into STEM competition Jan. 26-27 in Denver, Colorado. The event was hosted by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and supported by the U.S. Department of Energy's Building Technologies Office. 

Among 75 teams that submitted entries for the competition, the Durham team - advised by Moe Alahmad and Brandon Kreiling - was honored for their project, "The Fleet: Tiny Houses Repurposed in the Wake of Disaster."

Students on the four winning teams are offered paid internships at one of three national laboratories - NREL, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, or Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.
