What's Your Problem.pdf

This is our Engineering Passion Project, I choose to focus on finding an individual, program, or company that would be interesting in getting it as well as completing it themselves.

Research

My Problem

The tiny house is not finished but needs a recipient that can greatly benefit from it. I will research different organizations, reach out to them, determine/identify an organization (or several organizations) that could benefit from the tiny house, and would finish it themselves. Even though the house is small it is capable of changing someone’s life.

Below are all of the 10 organizations that I researched, that could possibly take the Tiny House, scroll farther for pictures :

  • Habit for Humanity

Tiny House Email Prototype

Idea BRIANSTORM

To the left is the email I crafted.

The three pictures are screenshots of the sent email, to the Habitat for Humanity.

Final part

She responded to the email, but she said that the location she was at didn't have a good use for it so, she referred us to the DeKalb Habitat for Humanity. So I emailed her and she also said they don't have a safe place to store it.


This is the response from the Dekalb Habitat for Humanity.

Conclusion

Sadly, the house doesn't have a specfic end owner, but I would be open to still emailing around after May 15 if that is okay. I would like to keep it going because I am proud of the work that I was able to complete and I just don't want it to be all for nothing.
