The dream of flying. Workshop on the critical use of technology for girls and boys

15th to 16th november 2014

Throughout the history of humanity, many women and men have shared the dream of flying, taking that dream as a starting point, this workshop wants to build and imagine the aerial future.

Based on a historical review, in which the biographies of aviator grandmothers will be highlighted, an introduction to the world of flying devices is proposed, building a small quadcopter and reflecting together on technology as a social tool and human activity.

The objective of this workshop is to take another step in technological empowerment, expanding knowledge and skills in an inclusive and cooperative learning and creation space for girls and boys, paying special attention to the technological experience of girls.

It is ultimately about connecting flight stories, sharing knowledge and putting it into value to think, create, tinker and above all, fly.
