Energy Harvesting

Small amount of energy (~µW to mW) can be harvested from the environment or from human motion to power simple devices.
A project in this area could focus on the mechanical aspects (for example 3D-printing compliant structures to accommodate the piezoelectric transducer and couple it to the environment) and/or on the electronic aspect (extracting energy efficiently and storing it for future use).
