| ==Description==
| |
| This year [[Humboldt State University]]'s summer immersion in Appropriate Technology and Spanish is taking place in San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico. In 2010, students studied appropriate technology and Spanish, while working with community members to build [[HSU Chiapas rainwater catchment|rainwater catchment systems]], [[HSU Chiapas micro hydro feasibility study|microhydro feasibility studies]], [[HSU Chiapas improved cookstoves|improved cookstoves]], [[HSU Chiapas Windbelt ASE|windbelt prototypes]], and a [[HSU Chiapas biodigester|biodigestor]]. You can see more program and project details from last year's program at [[HSU Chiapas]].
| |
|
| |
| This program is open to all skill levels, but does require some ability to do manual work and move around. Expect to work hard, learn a bunch, build lasting projects and friendships.
