Overview
This wikipage for attendees of 12/3/11 trip to SIFAT. There is an opportunity for the Makers to learn about appropriate technologies design. To define, appropriate technology design is the use of technology to allow a community to become self-reliant; e.g. using local resources and skills to implement and sustainably operate a setup for basic resources and income. Some examples are here. The appropriate technologies design tour will be starting at 10am on December 3, 2011 on-site at SIFAT's campus at 2944 County Rd. 113, Lineville, AL 36266 with the local chapter of Engineers Without Borders. Expect it to be an all day event as it is a 3 hour drive from Huntsville (we will need to leave at 7am). It is recommended that you pack a lunch and dress for the cold weather outdoors.
