metaStudio: an studio to design close-to-life construction contexts for learning
A metaStudio is a hackerSpace where we design our life-styles in such a way that education can happen while we live and work. We invite architects of life and knowledge to think collaboratively around this problem at this space. This is to rectify the problem of current education at all levels that produces more consumers than producers. The workshop will invite participants to discuss and engage in ways of shaping schools without classrooms, but with studios so that learning (construction of knowledge) happens meaningfully in both digital and non-digital construction contexts. http://metaStudio.org
