Creators, makers, and thinkers from around the world come together at AA Visiting School x CarbonCraft. Guided by tutors, participants shape ideas with their hands, while international lecturers and alumni spark inspiration through stories and talks.
CarbonCraft
CarbonCraft is a design and material innovation startup based out of Bangalore building low carbon footprint building materials. At CarbonCraft, we are on a mission to combat climate change by developing various low carbon footprint building materials through our expertise in material innovation and design. We have successfully completed 15,000+sq ft of commercial deployment with our recurring clients like Adidas, creating an environmental impact of 49TCO2e.
