Education/Projects/JetpackForLearning/DesignCamp

Overview

Ten projects from the Jetpack For Learning Design Challenge have been invited to a three-day Design Camp, prior to SXSW Interactive 2010 in Austin, Texas, USA.

Aspiration is designing and leading the Design Camp in partnership with Mozilla, along with Philipp Schmidt, JFL Coordinator, and Brian King and Andy Edmonds, JFL Course Leads.

The camp will bring together developers, designers, and educators who are working on the future of open education. Design Challenge prototypes will be finalised with support from course leaders Andy and Brian, and we will work on a shared vision for social learning in the open web.

The Design Camp will include Daily sessions from 9:00 - 18:00, with presentation of final prototypes on the last day. Selection and announcement of Design Challenge winner will take place during Mozilla SXSW Interactive event.
