UCD Creative Hackathon Day One: Challenge and Prototyping
It all kicked off on Wednesday, the 4th of March in the Shackleton Lounge at the UCD Innovation Academy. Teams were formed — some friends, some strangers, all potential future-shapers — and the challenge was unleashed.
Teams were asked, "How Might We Design The University of the Future," and the students were also given several themes:
Protect and Restore Nature
Future of Learning
Energy Systems
Transport Systems
Belongingness and Well-Being
The Innovation Academy's MakerSpace also opened its doors for the remainder of the afternoon for students who wanted to build more prototype materials or use any of its facilities, including the 3D printers, laser cutter, etc.
