			===Public program===

			The workshops will be contextualized with a public film screening curated by Jeffrey Babcock and a
			public lecture program, the Hackers & Designers Summer Talks.
			Both programs attract a bigger audience and therefore serve as a stage for projects created during
			the Summer Academy. For the lecture night Hackers & Designers and Waag Society will invite
			cross-disciplinary speakers to take the participants and the public into a deeper conversation around
			the topics investigated during the summer academy. The speakers promise an informed evening offering
			insights and diverse perspectives into their research, professional and artistic practices, but all
			the while maintaining the satirical and humorous approach of Hackers & Designers.

			===Who===

			H&D will be responsible for project management, developing the general thematic and curatorial
			framework of the Summer Academy and elaborate and finalize the 1st program block: Soft Work.
			H&D will furthermore develop a (visual) communication strategy.
			Waag will develop and facilitate the curriculum of the second part of the program: Hard Work, host
			the public film screening and will support H&D with advice throughout the development process.
			H&D and Waag will together develop the public program, and together share responsibilities on
			matters that concern the overall concept of the program. Both initiatives will generate media attention
			for the program, and both initiatives together will work on the selection process of Summer Academy
			participants.
			H&D & Waag will work closely together with the tutors to arrange any and all necessary materials for
			successful workshops.

			===Significance/importance===

			The Hackers & Designers Summer Academy provides a truly unique opportunity in the developing
			careers of designers, engineers, artists, and programmers to have unfettered access to disciplines
			which will have very little or no coverage in traditional undergraduate or graduate curriculums, especially in beta-sciences. Furthermore, it inspires students and practitioners to make a stake in technology, art and design and in the long term helps to provide the population of technically savvy citizens in the Netherlands, desire in order to create an tech economy that is relevant in global ecosystem.

			===Aim===

			Participants who have participated in the Hackers & Designers Summer Academy will at a minimum
			find a lower barrier to execution in technological mediums and design thinking and methodologies.
			The participants will have access to new tools and will develop personal networks for collaboration
			and assistance as they continue their future developing practices. Additionally, beyond hands-on
			experimentation with current technologies, participants will develop a foundation of theoretical knowledge valuable in the current and future public discourse.

			===Target group===

			The Summer Academy is for professional practitioners in the fields of design, art, and technology in
			and outside of the Netherlands as well as international undergraduate/graduate students. The participants will ideally be highly motivated and interested in cross-disciplinary practices as well as self-initiation.

			Participants from all disciplines will be vetted based upon submitted applications, CVs, portfolios,
			and a history of engagement and/or interest in technology. The ideal applicants will also have a record
			of self-initiated projects.

			Technology participants Technology participants primarily study and/or work in computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, informatica, data science, bio engineering and/or physics.
			Designers and artists Participants from the fields of design and/or arts are interested in digital culture, technology and engaging critically in discussions about new social and technological developments.


			The public program invites the broader public to engage in the topics of this year’s Summer Academy
			through film, lectures and discussion. It’s an opportunity to engage with participants, workshop
			leaders, lecturers and organizers with friendly curiosity and criticality, and join the discourse which
			hopefully will extend far beyond the 10 days of the event

			===Progam===

			The program will be divided in two blocks of each 5 days. Both program blocks fall under the
			thematic umbrella ‘At work’.
			The first block Soft work has a focus on software construction along side looking at soft concepts
			including soft money, soft intelligence, soft power, soft or informal forms of organization of work etc.
			while taking place at De PUNT. The second block Hard work focuses on Hardware construction along
			hard concepts like hard money, hard data, hard labor, etc., while taking place at the Fablab of Waag
			Society.
			The two blocks complement each other in terms of taught technical skills and in regards to the
			content. Participants can apply for one of the two blocks or for the full program. All workshops will
			be accessible for both the tech-savvy and newbie nerds.

			====Block 1 Soft work:====
			July 25th-July 30th 2016


			Curated by H&D, taking place at De PUNT, Frans de Wollantstraat 84, Amsterdam

			Mode of production: hands-on!

			Workshopping, wire framing, software development & prototyping, designing, discussion


			====Block 2 Hard work====
			August 1st-5th 2016

			Curated by Waag Society & Hackers & Designers,taking place at Waag Society’s Fablab, Nieuwmarkt 4 Amsterdam

			Research question: Does smart technology makes us dumb?

			Workshopping: Make an animate machine (bezielde machine)

			Modes of production: hands-on!

			Hardware hacking, wiring, soldering, prototyping and discussing while making a smart machine
