School of Machines / Making & Make-Believe

Category Education Members People Posted on:

Founded in Berlin, Germany, in 2014, School of MA provides unique, hands-on learning experiences at the intersection of art and technology in Europe. The school, has run five programs thus far, each with a different theme and technology focus. These include 'Responsive Spaces', 'Let's Get Physical (Computing), 'Interventions', 'Fabricating Empathy' and most recently, 'Facts and Fictions in the Age of Data Visualisation'.

Programs run for four weeks, full-time and each program’s instructors are well-known personalities in the field of creative technology, which adds to the excitement of delving into new territories. Initially, the goal of the School of MA was non-sensical exploration of creativity and technology, based on the notion that people learn best when they're having fun. Slowly, the focus has expanded into the arena of social engagement, speculative and critical design, and most importantly, human connection.
