Prototype Open Source solutions related to Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games

About

The program of this school will take place mainly during the month of June and July. All activities will take place on our campus in the 4th arrondissement of Paris and online for the first workshops in June
Below is a description of the activities:
Week 1 : Hackathon discovery of tools and deep understanding of challenges

During three intense days, participants are invited to discover one-another and test the tools that can be used during the school to answer the challenges presented by the mentors. Participants will discover the advantages of gamification, open-source electronic prototyping tools (arduino, movuino) and other tools of a fab lab. The end of week 1 consists in discovering more specifically the problems related to health and the environment brought by partners and to think of a project which allows to bring a solution to them. Once the project has been validated by the mentors, the participants will strat implementation of these ideas using the tools discovered during the hackathon.
Week 2 & 3 : Project design and implementation

Week 2 & 3 consist in using design thinking and rapid prototyping methologies to bring ideas into concrete solutions . The days are punctuated by technical workshops (fablab, code, digital fabrication, robotics, laboratory, etc.) and training in research methodology, business model, reflexivity, documentation, etc... Participants have access to the various resources available on the LPI campus (fablab, student lab, workspaces, etc...). Some sessions will be held jointly with our online partners in the form of courses/workshops, informal exchanges and peer evaluation.
Week 4 : Documentation & Presentation of results

Course aim

Initiated seven years ago, the SDG Summer School offers students a framework for engagement and training in sustainability issues through the prototyping of solutions to concrete problems. For several years, this training program has been carried out in partnership with the University of Geneva

This immersion program supported by the Institute of Challenges, co-founded by the Learning Planet Institute and the Université Paris Cité, will run from June 24th to July 19th. It is exclusively based on project-based learning and will be taught mainly in English. It is intended for students of legal age enrolled in a higher education institution in France or abroad. The diversity of profiles is an asset, so participants coming from natural sciences, humanities, medicine, computer science, design, gaming or arts are encouraged to apply.
