"It was really interesting to learn more about the different materials and structures of PV cells.
I really enjoyed being in the labs where we got to ask questions to current PhD students and see some of their projects and the machines."
"The teaching was excellent. Both Ben and Henrique made the content and lessons very engaging.
The topics were interesting and a good mix between labs, lectures, and group work. The workshop rooms in the Hub are a great space."
