PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE OF DESIGN AND DRAWING ARE NOT ESSENTIAL - WILLINGNESS TO USE YOUR IMAGINATION, LEARN, WORK IN A TEAM AND TAKE RISKS ARE!!

More about the workshops: Over 5 days we will develop our ideas from concepts through to detailed designs. As a team, we will learn about renewable energy generation from wind, water, human & other sources, and brainstorm what services could be powered to support outdoor activity. At the end of the week, we will hand over our completed weatherbot design for fabrications. We will meet up again in September for its installation and launch.
Workshop dates: August 13th to 17th, 10am to 4pm daily - O'Donoghue Centre, NUI Galway
