Help turn unwanted academic posters into a fou r-metre-wide geodesic dome! Drop in\, join the build and discover how a p ile of campus waste can become a striking structure with a new life.

\nWhat can you do with a stack of old academic pos ters that would otherwise be thrown away? Build a four-metre-wide geodesi c dome!
\n\nDrop in at any point during the day and work with other students to assemble the structure. No experience of construction\, desi gn or materials is needed\, and you can stay for as much or as little of the build as you like.
\n\nAs the dome takes shape\, you will disco ver how geodesic domes work\, why they are so strong and efficient\, and how they connect with materials science\, architecture\, design\, sustain ability\, ecology and even zoos and community gardens.
\n\nThe stor y does not end when the dome is finished. One of the structures will late r become a mushroom-growing space on campus through the CAPPUCCINO initia tive\, bringing together two circular projects to transform university wa ste into something useful\, visible and slightly unexpected.
\n\nTh e activity is open to anyone who enjoys making things\, solving practical problems or exploring sustainability\, design\, materials and architectu re. Wear practical clothing and footwear suitable for hands-on work and t he weather. All materials and equipment will be provided.
\n\nThe p roject is supported by the Alumni Impact Fund\, whose team will be there to capture the build and the finished dome.
\n\nThis activity a nd event have been made possible thanks to funding from the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Topological Design and the EPSRC Centre for Doct oral Training in Formulation Engineering for Net Zero.
