Entrance: free

Art and Design students of the world, come join us for a speed geeking session the 5th of March :) You can either teach a 30 minute workshop about your new hobby, high tech invention or solution to the worlds problems, or you can follow 6 workshops by your genius collegues.

6 short workshops. In this “speed geeking” session you teach each other in a short amount of time a technique, skill or concept. Multiple workshop tables are set up in the space, groups are made. The workshops take place simultaneously. Just like in speed dating, after 30 minutes a bell rings and each group goes to another workshop table. Workshops of all shapes and colours are welcome, from Processing in a nutshell to copyleft ashtray clay modelling. Exchange ideas and make new friends!
