Encouraging members of the public to visit the show, Professor David Crow, Pro Vice-Chancellor and Head of Colleges, said “The Summer Shows are the high point of our academic year as well as the culmination of our students’ hard work and time with us. Their in-depth understanding of making, research, emerging technologies, and sustainable practice all happily collide to create what is an adventurous and imaginative show.”
