In the light of the COVID-19 pandemic Hackers & Designers acknowledges the importance of continuity and solidary action, thus proposes an alternative format for the 6th edition of the H&D Summer Academy. Without rendering the current events as an opportunity we restructured our annual H&D Summer Academy into a distributed workshop programme—taking place in one dedicated week in July! We have received a lot of exciting workshop proposals and are excited about potential of this year's summer academy.

'''Portable Respirator'''
Our collaborator [[Bongani Ricky Masuku]] designed a portable respirator for healthcare workers on the front line against the epidemic.
He has made the project open source, so that the research project can be freely shared with academic institutes willing to try out the concept & test in effort to save lives. Find his slides [[Bongani Ricky Masuku | here]]

Our latest publication Coded Bodies is out!

In 2019 H&D invited its community to investigate the intersections of technology and the (human, post-human, trans-human, non-human) body from a maker's perspective. On a daily basis our bodies are being scanned, tracked, debugged, rendered, manipulated, and categorized by different kinds of computational processes and measuring devices. By creating shared moments of learning and unlearning, we posed questions such as: How are we, as users and makers, able to understand our bodies' relationships to computation?
