The 2022 SDG summer school generated creative and concrete solutions to health and environment issues! Take a glance at the 2022 projects!
During an entire month, students from all around the world – and from all backgrounds – gathered at the MakerLab of the Learning Planet Institute to learn how to prototype open source, frugal and concrete solutions for a more sustainable society. This year, students came out with innovative projects to tackle health issues and their link to the environment.
Supported by the Institute of Challenges, co-founded by the Learning Planet Institute and the Université Paris Cité, this summer school runs every year from mid-June to the end of July. This immersion program entirely based on project-based learning has been carried out in partnership with other higher education institutions: the University of Geneva and the Tsinghua University.
Students are carefully selected to represent a large diversity of profiles and bring different expertises and perspectives: natural sciences, humanities, medicine, computer science, design, gaming or arts. Teams then use the best of this interdisciplinary environment to shape their ideas and materialize their projects.

Year after year, the Learning Planet Institute enables students to act on local and global challenges they are facing. Within the Makerlab, they learn how to build and prototype frugal solutions but also to apprehend the “maker” and “the open source” state of mind, allowing them to collectively create a more sustainable world.
