Collider: Care Experience & Creativity

A Collider is a conceptual design event, bringing together computational thinking and design thinking, to pull informaticians together with designers and problem-holders.  At the start of the Collider we set the scene with a challenge statement from Eona Craig, Chief Executive of the Articulate Cultural Trust. This will be followed by three inspirational provocations (Maggie Inchley, Queen Margaret University London; John Morrison, Napier University and Laura Beveridge, Stop:Go Group), before we break into a dynamic workshop sessions where, together, we create potential solutions …

Collider organised with the Articulate Cultural Trust and Napier University. Part of the Arts, Creativity and Employability (ACE) project which aimed to design and improve services to tackle inequality by supporting disadvantaged young people to use their creativity and perhaps think about a future in the creative industries.  For more information on the work that the project’s Young Researchers did as part of ACE visit https://articulatehub.shorthandstories.com/
