Description

What?

Brainstorm and work in teams to design and produce the first prototype of an exhibit to enhance the experience of the public visitors to the CERN data centre building. Exhibition areas will include the glass corridor between building 31 and 513, and the zone highlighted by the red dotted line in the pdf document at the bottom of this page. It is possible to take part in one of the four pre-defined projects, or to register for an 'open' project. See the registration page for more information.

Who?

Open to anyone from the CERN IT department available on 17th and 18th March during working hours. People who cannot participate for the two full days but would like to join are also welcome to register as 'experts on call' (just mention the areas of expertise you are happy to contribute; may take approximately two hours of your time the second day of the workshop).

How?

Eight teams of about four to six people collaborating over two days. Guidance from experts, design professionals and artists from the Arts@CERN programme. Coffee and hot drinks will be available throughout the two days.

Where?

IdeaSquare, CERN. Fantastic range of design facilities and support, such as a workshop, 3D scanner and 3D printers, soldering facilities and much more!

When?

17th and 18th of March (see timetable).
