LET’S LAUNCH AND ECO-POD ARMADA!
With a New York City Parks Department permit, and the Weather Underground on our side (well, at least it didn’t rain), the first Eco-Pod Armada was finally launched into the East River!
Check out the pictures on the project page (video coming soon).
ECO POD TEST LAUNCH
The pod prototype was taken to the Brooklyn Bridge Park for a first test-launch. The sun was shining, innocent bystanders seemed intrigued, and the pod finally met the water. And so did we.
The water was a bit wavy, and the rocks posed some challenges for our little boat.
So, back to the drawing board…
Wish us luck with the next (and public) launch, tentatively scheduled for Sunday, December 6th (pending Parks Department approval).
Save the date and cross your fingers for a sunny Sunday!

ECO POD UNDER CONSTRUCTION
A Prototype of the Eco Pod is being constructed in Brooklyn.
Plants will be introduced when it stops raining and we can go back on the roof.
AWESOME IN BOSTON
The Eco Pod Armada project went to Boston to celebrate with the Awesome Foundation and the Boston Urban Exchange. Here are some photos from the first half of the evening, last Friday night at NERD, courtesy of Reed.
THE POD FLEET
A fleet of aquatic phytoremediation interactive mobile pods is about to be launched 
onto the East river. Each pod will be built of a remote-controlled speed boat, wooden rods, a fishing net, hydroponic plants and some duct tape.
This is all done with the amazing help of the Awesome Foundation in Boston.
