SDG Summer School 2022

In several late-day workshops during the last 2 weeks of June, participants meet and learn about sustainability issues through a repository of resources, workshops, and peer discussions. Particularly important challenges are identified through group sessions, led by facilitators who guide the reflection. Particular attention will be paid to health, well-being and environmental issues: the main topics of this summer school.

During two intense days, participants are invited to discover 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 building also has a biology lab that students can use with the help of tutors to discover the tools of biology.

The beginning of stage 3 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. The first week will therefore be devoted to proposing a project and learning about project methodology (design thinking, paper prototyping, etc.). Once the project has been validated by the mentors, the participants will implement these ideas using the tools discovered during step 2. 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.

During the last days of the summer school, the focus is on documentation
