CRI Labs Summer School

What is the CRI Labs Summer School?

The CRI Summer School is a 8-week challenge-based programme, hosted by the CRI GameLab and MakerLab. In it, 50 international participants, from a variety of fields, will join forces to learn through masterclasses, workshops, hackathons, and by developing projects tackling the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals – specifically Health and Education and Environment. How? By creating games and making devices that benefit from digital fabrication (3D printing, rapid prototyping, etc.). Experts in serious game making, medicine, environmental science, digital fabrication, frugal innovation – and more! – will mentor groups of students as they hack their way to a better world.Promising projects will be encouraged to pursue spin-off opportunities after the summer school - the CRI Labs manage a catalysis programme for innovative research and development.
