My Step

Landon Austill, Hannah Wheeler, Gabrielle Nacion, Lisette Borja

MyStep embeds piezoelectric sensors inside mycelium bricks to harvest the kinetic energy produced from footsteps. “Tiles” can be grown and shaped for high foot-traffic areas, allowing communities to share, donate, or sell the energy produced during local events.
