SIGUS participated in MIT's 6th Annual International Development Fair, October 5, 2008. The Development Fair (IDF) is an event designed to showcase the many groups, projects and activities at MIT that provide students with an opportunity to work on issues related to international development. The Fair brings students and organizations together, to promote awareness and encourage the exchange of ideas. SIGUS highlighted 3 events being planned: A Design/Build activity in El Salvador; 'Go Lamhin', a bridge building project in rural Thailand; and an 'Action-Research Workshop' developing a 'Smart Village' for the bayous of Louisiana.
Esther Chung from the 'Go Lamhin' project fielded questions from interested students.
