Build digital skills. Share what works.

This module guides learners from a recognised real-world problem to a first concept solution. Through the design thinking process — understanding the user and the problem, generating ideas and sketching an initial prototype — participants work in pairs or small teams on a real everyday problem, define the user, goal and solution idea, and build an early mock-up from cardboard or other secondary materials. The workshop is designed as an accessible entry point with no formal prerequisites, built on the principle that the problem being solved always belongs to someone else — a person, a community, or the environment — never to the learner.

This workshop provides a practical introduction to CNC-based manufacturing using a CNC Shaper. Participants learn how the mobile CNC cutting system works and explore its applications in woodworking, product design, prototyping, and maker projects. After an introduction to CNC technology, machine operation, and essential safety procedures, participants create or adapt a digital design and prepare it for machining using CAD and vector-based software. In the practical session, participants manufacture their own project with the CNC Shaper, gaining hands-on experience in material preparation, machine setup, and precision machining. Throughout the workshop, they follow the complete workflow from digital design to finished product. Example projects include: • Creating a personalized wooden sign or logo • Manufacturing a small furniture or design element • Engraving a customized workpiece • Developing a simple prototype

Vibe Coding is an AI-supported approach to software development where users collaborate with AI assistants to create digital solutions more efficiently. This workshop provides a practical introduction to building web-based prototypes with modern AI tools. Participants set up Visual Studio Code and use AI coding assistants such as Continue with OpenRouter, Codex, or Claude Code to generate, improve, and debug code. They create their own website using HTML, CSS, and basic JavaScript, test and refine their projects, and publish them via GitHub Pages. The workshop also covers best practices for AI-supported development, including effective prompting, iterative testing, error analysis, secure handling of API keys and private data, and testing applications across different devices.
