This February 2021 we have continued with the 4th edition of our project week on Do-It-Yourself in MedTech, an interdisciplinary hands-on week in the FabLab Luzern, HSLU.
Due to the contact restrictions we have developed a hybrid format to hold the class and have experimented the use of workadventu.re, a virtual “gamified” and open source collaboration tool. The map was designed by dusjagr and hosted on the fablabLU github.
Documentation is happening on the hackeria wiki. (based on media wiki)
Throughout the week mentors were available both onsite and online to discuss project developments with the student teams and be available for questions. Regular group gatherings for input-lectures and group discussions were announced and held in a shared jitsi-room designed in the 2D virtual map.
Blending hybrid, on-site, online, virtual, homeLab, fabLab, classroom activities.
Reflecting on the use of workadventure as a tool for practical class-activities. We started to put down some notes in this .md pad.
How a serendipitous, hybrid (physical space + virtual space) and open environment can facilitate awesome education experiences.
Hello there,

=================================
Science and Innovation are big worlds, often siloed and reserved for academia or industry.
We believe that community-driven approaches to science and innovation make solving global challenges more effective, efficient, and inclusive.
This is why we are hosting the first-ever Just One Giant Summit on July 1st to celebrate and strengthen community science and innovation around the planet.
The online conference will be unusually productive and fun by being entirely conducted in a Gather.town space. https://www.gather.town/
Here’s a short two-minute informative and funny video about Gather:
