<span>Hello Makers!</span><br><br>
<span> I have an opportunity for you to learn about appropriate technologies design. To define, </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appropriate_technology" style="color:rgb(17, 85, 204)" target="_blank">appropriate technology design</a><span> 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 </span><a href="http://www.sifat.org/apptech.html" style="color:rgb(17, 85, 204)" target="_blank">here</a><span>. </span><br>
