From June 21st to June 24th we are organising the 3rd edition of our 4-day Future Tech Bootcamp. This is a special event format of Industry meets Makers, which in essence works like an intensive miniature model of the six-month main programme. Industrial companies present “briefings” (= challenges) and invite makers – freelance developers, hobbyists, students, start-ups and SMEs – to work with them on initial solutions within just 4 days. Technology partners, local maker space operators and experts support the teams during the process by providing the necessary infrastructure and in-depth know-how.
The bootcamp was held for the first time in 2019 at and with the UAS St. Pölten in analogue form and was successfully continued in a purely virtual version in the Covid-19-ridden year 2020 as part of the FFG-funded Digital Makers Hub programme. In 2021, the goal is now to combine decentrally organised analogue activities at various locations in Austria and abroad with a digital communication concept that enables collaboration and exchange between participants at the various locations with the help of live streaming and the use of video conferencing and chat tools in virtual space.
Would you like to participate as a briefing or technology partner, expert, local network or space partner, sponsor, creative maker and/or as a university, university of applied sciences or technical college with your students? Then register for it right now!
