The Solar Decathlon is organized for 800 decathletes from all backgrounds. Like them, the organization relies on volunteers to support the implementation of the project on a daily basis. Close to 100 volunteers aged 18 to 40 are present and ready to help! They are here to make their variouis skills available. theyr are composed of students and professionals in architecture, communication, tourism, translation ... You too, come and join us!
Students oral exams on site
Motivated by the reality of Chile’s devastating earthquakes, Casa Fenix offers modular and flexible habitats which can be built by victims in emergency situations. Next 23, 24 and 25 of June, the students will trade their tools and safety equipment against a suit to take their oral exams with their head teacher, and validate their professional license at the very heart of La Cité du Soleil.
Solar Decathlon & the FIFA World Cup
Friday, June 20, the game of the World Cup France-Switzerland brought together many supporters in the Agora. It was an opportunity for Decathlètes to relax a little, in a merry atmosphere! The video of the night is available on the Facebook page of Team Lucerne from Switzerland.
Border issues
The Danish team DTU wishes to rehabilitate roofs of existing buildings in Copenhagen but the Embrace prototype has experienced some complications. A transportation problem has provoked a scare in the team since the beginning of the week because trucks materials were stuck at the border between France and Germany. Anyway, they put the fondations neverthelses and the construction has begun on Thursday 19 at 6a.m. Finally they manage to catch up with the schedule and very confident.
