In continuing our conversations with the winners of the 2023 Wilkes Student Innovation Prize, we spoke with Samantha Eddy and Xiang Huo, whose proposal: “Decarbonize the Diné: A Prefabricated Solar-Driven Communal Solution with Passive Survivability,” won second prize.  It aims to turn Dennehotso, a Navajo chapter in Arizona, into a pilot project for building a self-sustained and eco-friendly living prototype for the Diné residents who live there.  Their proposed project would be a blueprint for improving the well-being of the Diné community through a holistic system of infrastructure and cultural solutions that would have net-zero carbon emissions.
