INDUSTRY MEETS MAKERS & TECH EXPERTS
+++
A 4-DAY FUTURE TECH CO-CREATION SESSION
From June 27th to June 30th we are organising the 4th edition of our 4-day future tech bootcamp. This is a special event concept 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.

OUR CO-CREATION PROCESS

Bootcamp Access
You can join our bootcamp co-creation process at any time via a zoom meeting incl. main stage and breakout session rooms as well as our IMM chat tool, which is based on the open source software Rocket.Chat and offers mobile app versions in addition to the desktop version. In addition, some location partners will again make their space available for analogue teamwork. See the list of location partners including addresses, contact persons and availability below.

OUR DIGITAL COMMUNICATION CONCEPT
This is the Zoom videoconference link that will take you to our virtual main stage and breakout session rooms for the 4 days.
Here you can register for the IMM chat tool that we will use for our ongoing communication during the 4 days

Current programme planning status
The programme will be held in 2 language versions (English and German) with the help of synchronous interpreters. In the local maker spaces and virtual breakout session rooms, the language spoken will be the one everyone understands.
We know that hardly anyone can really participate in a program of this kind for 4 days at a time and that every concept of life brings with it different requirements and freedom. We have therefore tried to arrange the process according to the hop-on-hop-off principle.
The pink marked program points are fixed points where you can easily join the group. In the yellow marked periods we, our briefing partners and experts are available in chat and virtual breakout session rooms to answer questions, in order to support possible lateral entries and individual work rhythms as best as possible. In addition there will also be analogue activities, which we will organise at different locations in cooperation with our local network and space partners (see the orange marked fields).
This schedule is based on CET/CEST. Check your time difference!
DAY 1
On June 27th we start with a pitching and matchmaking session. In the morning our briefing, technology and space partners will present their challenges and available tools, components, materials and machines and answer first questions.
Between 1 and 2 o'clock there will be a deep dive session on the topic of trade to initiate a specific project solution that teams in Salzburg are working on.
In the afternoon, there will be an opportunity to get to know each other, develop plans and ideas for the coming days and form groups.
DAY 2 + 3
On June 28th and June 29th we will focus fully on the development work. In the morning and early afternoon we hold bootup and reboot meetings where participants can inform each other about progress and help each other.
In the evening there is time for a chill-out beer together. During the rest of the time you can work cooperatively around the clock according to your individual feasibility and preferences.
On Tuesday, the side event Research Café will take place at the UAS St. Pölten at 3 pm. Here you can find the detailed programme.
DAY 4
On June 30th the focus will be on the presentation of the generated results and the organisation of first project setup coaching sessions.
Experts will jointly consider how the generated solutions could be efficiently and realistically put on the road after the bootcamp according to the respective possibilities and interests of the participants – what is still needed and which next steps would be useful.
