IGNITE Digital Roundtables - Design Thinking & Maker Culture: Sticky Learning for the 21st Century

We are delighted to announce the IGNITE digital roundtables on ‘Design Thinking & Maker Culture: Sticky Learning for the 21st Century’. The digital roundtables, which will be held on Wednesday afternoons through April via Zoom (8, 15, 22, 29 April), aim to explore how we can leverage digital technologies and new methods of teaching to promote ‘sticky learning’ -- learning that is retained well after it is taught. Our speakers will cover subjects, such as digital innovation in teaching and learning in the humanities, flipped classroom teaching, maker culture as new forms of meaning-making and knowledge creation, how to prepare humanities students for a new labour market, and how can humanities knowledge take on and create solutions for global challenges while facilitating the digital transition of society. The digital roundtables seek to explore these themes within the wider areas of education within the digital humanities, cultural studies, and the creative and cultural industries, both as part traditional educational curricula as well as lifelong learning.

The first will be held on Wednesday 8 April 2020, 4-5pm (CEST)! This session will consist of three ten-minute papers, followed by a 15 minute discussion.

The IGNITE project partners are currently meeting at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. Vienna is beautifully illuminated at this time of the year -- and we even spotted a huge IGNITE logo in the streets. 😍

These are photographs taken at events organized by the IGNITE project partners. They show how Design Thinking and Maker Culture can be applied in different educational settings and by people from different backgrounds.
