This course felt SO worth the money! I think I will save thousands of US dollars on my final project and huge headaches now that I have this as a resource.
Gifted facilitators and experienced experts led participants through lessons about all aspects of bamboo. My expectations were exceeded. I feel so fortunate to be apart of this inspiring movement.

A place to celebrate the art and science of bamboo. A dynamic shortcut to understanding bamboo and its potential.

ARCHITECT FROM INDIA
The curriculum and engagement that the online course at Bamboo U offered blew me away. My hopes and expectations were overwhelmingly surpassed. I engaged with bamboo architects, builders, designers, and novices (like me) from all over the world. Seeing other students' designs inspired me to dig deeper into my knowledge of bamboo and let my imagination play with this beautiful grass.
The main construction site project was the highlight of my experience. Getting out of my comfort zone while fully immersing in a real world construction project is something I never thought I would do.
