This year ATC has seen great success. We have prototyped several new cutting-edge affordable and sustainable technologies. Nonprofits around the world are now using our designs and our innovative entrepreneurial approach to alleviating poverty. ATC is creating new opportunities for work, access to health and support for education for the poorest people in the world.

Come find out how.

This year The Appropriate Technology Collaborative, and student design teams from the University of Michigan, Michigan State University and the School of Art at the Art Institute of Chicago have teamed up to create break-through technologies for the poor.

Solar/LED Light - Guatemala

Our solar lighting system replaces kerosene lamps and does much more. Come see why what popular options are chosen by local families in Guatemala.

Our award winning solar vaccine refrigerator can be made from locally available parts in rural Africa. Come find out how we plan on improving this vital technology.

Treadle Pump - Univeristy of Michigan BLUELab
