Learning Opportunities
Click here to find our Appropedia Page. This website has lists of all projects that are currently underway at CCAT and that have been completed in the past. Appropedia is a place for you to find all the information that CCAT has collected over the years on projects including directions, diagrams, and notes. Our hope is that you and the community can use this information to duplicate the appropriate projects in your own space.
Workshops
Employees and community members lead-free workshops on appropriate technology and community building throughout the semester ranging from solar lighting to herbal remedies.
Workshops are announced when on a monthly basis as they become available. Please check our front page from time to time for more details! Or, email us at ccat@humboldt.edu to join our newsletter to get informed directly.
Project Proposals
Looking for a venue to experiment? To build? The Campus Center for Appropriate Technology was created to offer students and community members a hub for experimenting with, practicing and demonstrating Appropriate Technology (see “What is Appropriate Technology” on Home page).
Anyone can submit a Project Proposal to make use of CCAT’s space.
You will also need to submit a project timeline and budget. Below are examples:
Finally, if your project is approved, you will need to sign a Working Agreement with CCAT.
Event Proposals
Looking for a venue to make something happen? We welcome university and community events to be held at CCAT for free! We offer a unique sustainability-centered landscape with the feel of a modern homestead, including an outdoor lawn, an indoor classroom and much more.
Some examples of events are workshops, concerts, and clothing swaps.
