The day started with a lecture by the Green Fab Lab Coordinator Jonathan Minchin, who explained the structure of the Valldaura Self-Sufficient LaB a to the new students. Meanwhile the students enrolled in the second year of the MAA take advantage of the sunny day to develop a project in the Green Fab Lab facilities. The lecture was followed by the guided tour of the facilities, allowing the students to understand in detail what was presented to them: a laboratory to implement investigation and set a new bench mark for self-sufficiency, a complex ecosystem structured by a Green Fab Lab, a Food Lab and an Energy Lab. A 0 km paella lunch was then served, giving the students time to relax and get to know each other.
