| From idea to prototype: Makeademy's impactful summer school experience |
|
|
For two weeks, participants of the Erasmus+ program project "Makeademy" sought an answer to this question. Students from Lithuania, Latvia, Denmark, Spain, and Italy attended an intensive summer school, where they learned techniques for problem identification, idea generation, and solution finding. Ultimately, utilizing rapid prototyping and using electronic waste provided by the company "EMP Recycling," the students developed solutions to identified problems. The summer school was hosted by Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (VILNIUS TECH) Creative and Innovation Center "LinkMenų fabrikas".
