The Catholic University of America, George Washington University, and American University are collaborating as Team Capitol DC to bring harvest to the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon 2013.

Inspired by nature, harvest is a model for sustainability and a catalyst for design. It signifies our deep ties with nature for sustenance and spirituality. The concept for harvest is rooted in humanistic, scientific, and spiritual values. Through harvest, Team Capitol DC will explore how mathematics, nature, and the universe cultivate design and structures for human life and environment.

After the competition, the team plans to donate harvest to a veteran.
