Workshops
A rapidly changing society requires matching knowledge and skills. Many of these skills are described under the heading of 21st century or cross-curricular skills. The HUB-Lab workshops are in line with the 21st century skills. (page is in Dutch)
The HU Library has developed a framework for learning objectives to embed in the curriculum.
Together with the applicant(s), we put together a customized workshop. To get an idea of new innovative resources and technologies that can be used, we offer a carousel. Here you become acquainted with various tools such as robots, (easy) programming and possibilities in the field of Extended reality (XR), Virtual reality (VR) and Augmented reality (AR). Other options are taking part in an in-depth workshop on a specific theme, for example Artificial Intelligence (AI), prototyping or gamification.
Our workshops are hands-on, practical and suitable for both students and teachers.
Please contact us at hublab.workshops@hu.nl about the possibilities.
