TeSI 2026
Description
Technologies for Social Innovation (TeSI)
As part of the course, TeSI, students will embark on an interplanetary exercise to expand their thinking: IdeaSquare Planet.
IdeaSquare Planet, or i2P for short, is a novel methodology developed at CERN IdeaSquare in collaboration between its partners and staff to enable those brave enough to tap deep into their creativity. Participants are encouraged to aim at solving complex problems by removing barriers to creativity, applying a systems-thinking approach, using future thinking as a tool, and being inspired by the way physicists and engineers work at CERN. Contrary to what some might expect from a course held at CERN, we are not expecting you to be physicists or engineers – we truly believe that for change to be made, multidisciplinary discourse is required.
Welcome to your interplanetary adventure!
Directions on how to get to CERN you can find here: https://home.cern/directions
