Hello, everyone. My name is Cecilia Scott, and I am part of a team of MIT students that will be working at the African Centre for Renewable Energy and Sustainable Technology (ACREST) near Mbouda in Cameroon this summer. I will be setting up a microfinance program for renewable energy technologies produced at ACREST and distributed within the surrounding villages. Currently, I am studying abroad at Sciences Po in Paris.
But enough about me. On to ACREST's current news...
Today, a group of students from Purdue University in the United States left ACREST after a weeklong visit with their professor. The purpose of their trip was to explore the possibility of a long-term partnership between Purdue University and ACREST. In the near future, engineering students will be coming to ACREST to conduct research on low-cost vehicles for rural areas. Above are pictures of the Purdue students and ACREST staff members in action.
