Kinkajou Microfilm Projector
The Kinkajou Projector is a novel educational tool for developing countries that combines the efficiency of LEDs with the durability of microfilm. The Kinkajou alpha prototype, shown in the photo below, was developed in Fall 2002 at MIT as part of Woodie Flower's and Dave Wallace's senior capstone mechanical engineering design course, "2.009 Product Engineering Processes." The Kinkajou team continued working on the project through the Spring semester, developing the beta prototype model we're packing with us. To learn more, see the Kinkajou website.
