GDES3003 VISIT TO CAT - 2021

Fantastic to get back again to the Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT) nr Machynlleth in Mid Wales with this year's green design cohort from Worcester.

Students [including our guest MA student Juliet] were able to have an introductory lecture to the site and what CAT does, tour the various practical displays there and take part in a Zero Carbon Britain [ZCB] seminar led by project leader Paul Allen who would be talking at the COP26 Climate Talks in Glasgow in just a short couple of week's time from when we saw him.

A really inspiring visit [despite the rain], huge thanks again as always to Gabi, Paul, Joel and the CAT staff for hosting us once more [this must be about our 10th visit!].
