ATTRACT PdP students at CERN (Base programme)

How can technology improve entire regions? Students from Aalto Design Factory, Häme University of Applied Sciences, and Hochschule Mannheim participate in the BASE programme to create solutions answering this question. The programme aims to create desirable solutions for smart technologies and smart environments. Students use design methods to empathize with real users and take these findings as inspiration to come up with meaningful and desirable product ideas based on the provided ATTRACT technologies and their regional context. The design decisions of their product concepts are rationalized by their findings on the context and environment and backed by user testing through several iterative cycles. The combined result of the course is a mapping between smart technologies and smart, sustainable environments. It exemplifies by the provided solutions, how smart technologies as provided in ATTRACT can be used to improve the lives of people without harming our planet. https://indico.cern.ch/event/1268330/
