SDG Summer School in Paris

During the months of June and July, UP organized a series of online workshops (see here) and an in-person summer school focusing on the engagement of HEI students on the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

The whole month of July was devoted to an intensive 28-day challenge-based work: developing a project, learning about project methodology (design thinking, paper prototyping, etc.) and implementing these ideas using the tools discovered during the hackathon. The days were punctuated by technical workshops (fablab, code, digital fabrication, robotics, laboratory, etc.) and training in research methodology, business model, reflexivity, documentation, etc.

Finally, the summer school was closed with a public event in which the groups presented their prototypes.
