Apprentissage par la recherche et autres savantures

Abstract

Français English

For its third consecutive edition, the NightScience event remains faithful to its original mission: get together knowledge creators and explore together yet unexplored territories in science and learning. To address the challenges ahead, we have chosen a particular path: the one of learning through research. This year, we have chosen to focus specifically on children as natural researchers ready to engage into knowledge adventures. Our approach is motivated by the desire we nurture to create and develop open, collaborative and evolvable content and tools. That is why we invite a large number of open knowledge communities as well as teachers, parents, and curious enthusiasts to join us in this venture.

Days 2 and 3

July 13 and 14 are dedicated to hands-on activities through which everyone can express his/her creativity. Registration for the whole week-end is free but mandatory due to logistics details. Use the following form (in English and French) to tell us you are joining. Be sure to get signed up before July 11, 2013.

We have opted for a format often referred to as ‘hackathon’. The word is a porte-manteau between ‘hack’ and ‘marathon’, reflecting the idea of hands-on activities within a short timespan (a day or two in general).

You are developer, designer, teacher, parent, teenager,… keen to create novel content and/or tools for learning through research at any age? You want to prototype a game or bootstrap a MOOC?

Then, this is the right place and time for you. Join us!

You can already pitch ideas using the dedicated form. It is always great to see what people have in mind, and possibly plan for specific supplies.

The hackathon will take place at the Center for Interdisciplinary Research (Centre de Recherches Interdisciplinaires, CRI):
Faculté de médecine — Université Paris Descartes
24, rue du Faubourg Saint Jacques 75014 Paris (second floor)
Check out the ‘Contact’ page for practical information.
