Okay, the decathlon is finally over..what a relief! Long days, long nights, and some crazy experiences. I wondered sometimes, what have I got myself into! We, Penn State, were part of a unique kind of sport, designing and building a solar house, on the mall in Washington DC, while competing against 19 other teams. As part of the competition, there were 10 different contests which we were judged for, some of them including, engineering design and construction of the house, architecture, lighting etc..Well, for results.. Penn State ranked forth overall, 1st in hot water tests, 5th in engineering, 8th architecture, and a 3rd place in market viability and lighting.
The results didnt come to us easy! During a few days while in DC, we slept for less than 2 hours a night in a row! It was the same for 20 other enthusiastic students, who did everything that came in their way, to achieve this for Penn State!
Now, this long and exhausting experience which ran for more than a year is all over..I guess I do feel normal now!
