PUC - Rio

Dr. Ghavami: Bamboo Guri


Today our group visited PUC-Rio (or Pontifícia Universidade Católica, nicknamed PUCi), the university we will be working with during our time here.  It was so nice to be on a college campus again after being in the city for three days!  The major difference between Pitt and PUC-Rio?  Bamboo, it's everywhere.  Bascially, PUC-Rio set in a gorgeous bamboo forest.  Sounds like the perfect place for our group of bamboo nerds to me.  While at PUCi, we will also be building a bamboo bicycle with the help of Dr. Ghavami, a genius in all areas of alternative materials.
