Waterbird™ concepts began on a small beach in the US Virgin Islands.
It took flight through a partnership between Branding Design Company, Superior Wire Harness, the Colorado School of Mines, and the Beck Venture Center. In January 2025, the sponsorship project was approved as a senior capstone design project at the Colorado School of Mines, and through collaboration with five talented students, evolved the idea into reality.
