SIGCHI Summer School
Computational Fabrication and Smart Matter

July 3-6, 2024 | University of Copenhagen, Denmark

This workshop provides 30 PhD students with the opportunity to discuss their research with senior mentors in their field and to learn new research skills. There will be a strong focus on developing each participant’s research agenda, including brainstorming new research ideas and transforming them into physically realizable prototypes. Participants will also get hands-on experience working with the interaction, simulation, and sustainability aspects of digital fabrication research.
