Wang and her team have successfully entered business challenge competitions to acquire further support for the project. The group has advanced as a regional competitor in the 2012 Walmart Better Living Business Plan Challenge.  The Walmart Challenge provides a forum for students to take their idea for a sustainable product or business solution and make that idea a reality. Prizes of $20,000, $10,000 and $5,000 will be awarded to members of the top three teams to invest in their business or product.
