Academy workshop: stained glass, IoT planter, fabrication bench

Guernsey Open Academy of Technology · guernseyacademy.gg

Art Girl across from Nerd Boy. Strong Arm in the shop.

An open academy of applied technology. Automation, the Meaning Economy, and Life Sciences — oriented around plants, the outdoors, and human experience. The first node is already at work.

The three lines Visit the first node

What GOAT is

Not a campus drawing. A bench, a brief, a built thing.

Can We gathers the island’s will. GOAT takes the work. Teams form around real tenders — streets, growing systems, machines, stories — and learn by delivering them.

Line 01

Automation

Software and hardware, across industries. Controllers, irrigation, micro-machinery, takeoff-to-quote, the operating system of a design-build firm.

Line 02

Meaning Economy

Tourism, local quality of life, storytelling. The movie business in island form. Gardens that can be filmed. Stories that can be walked.

Line 03

Life Sciences

Good food, good diagnostics, good ergonomics, good recovery. Growing systems next to the kitchen and the body.

Already building

The academy started as tools that had to exist.

Plant biographies generated as a working library. SketchUp takeoff to priced packs. Specialist agents for modelling, buying and commercial delivery. IoT planter and vertical-yield threads on the same site as Italian stock and an award-winning landscape job.

Petersfield is the commercial priority and the first node. The office, workshop and grow station are the rooms. A refurb is on the board. The academy is not waiting for a ribbon.
