Technology & Environment

Welcome to the T&U Autumn Semester 2020/21

There are two parts that we use to do our work

  • This "closed platform" called "The horse" (here we are:)
    A learning and working website with a personal login for each student
  • The Public website www.dontwastemy.energy
    Goal: The elaborated students' contributions [Projektbeiträge] will be published on this public website.

Doku & Reportage | Dok 1

Dok 1: Klimawandel - Die Fakten (orf.at)

DE - Sir David Attenborough gestaltet seine BBC Doku als mitreißenden Weckruf. Mit zahlreichen Wissenschaftlern belegt er die Fakten rund um die Folgen des Klimawandels und was dagegen unternommen werden kann. Als preisgekrönter Tierfilmer und weltbekannter Naturforscher hat seine Stimme in einer hochaktuellen Debatte besonderes Gewicht.

EN - Sir David Attenborough designs his BBC documentary as a rousing wake-up call. Together with numerous scientists, he presents the facts about the consequences of climate change and what can be done about it.

End of spring semester 2020 - Best wishes for your journey on!

Dear T&U students,

As you can see on "The Horse", during the last two semesters many learning experiences were gained, interactions within & across the teams - even collaborating across cultures. Next generations' students can build on these experiences and pass them on.

All the best for the journey on!

PS: Since 2016, students have been publishing their collaboratively created environmental projects on  dontwastemy.energy. Meanwhile 128 contributions carry the newly gained knowledge and experiences of the students all over the world - in the month of March '20 we had 9'931 visitors: from over 140 countries on the website!
