kekai bottle 3d printed

The 3D printed bottle. Thank you, Mr. Shinta, for the advice, 16 printing hours, and free filament!

My proudest high school achievement from freshman year.

"The greenest and most efficient 100% biodegradable water bottle" is what I called it. It's really a bottle made of recycled paper and corn husks, lined with potato-starch-based bioplastic. Its accordion-inspired collapsability allows more bottles to be shipped at once, reducing carbon emissions from shipment.

It won 1st place in California DECA's Start-Up Business Pitch event and 4th place internationally. Yes, I've realized the irony of 3D printing it with plastic filament.
