Description

MEDS is a network  that hosts annual workshops for young people with an interest in design. The ‘Workshop’ is a two-week event that takes place in August each year, and is the main ‘meeting’ of MEDS. Within the workshop there are number of projects led by Tutors (design students or professionals), who have applied to create their concept – along with their team of eager and talented Participants – during the Workshop. The Workshop has a central theme that all of the projects are based on. This year it is “Ground Zero” – a chance to start a new, as if we are the only people left to rebuild civilisation on Tara.

Organising team provides the framework, materials, and programme, the Tutors detail and oversee individual projects during the workshop. Participants are assigned to projects based on their choices according to the ‘Happiness Algorithm’ (an unbiased distribution of participants according to gender, nationality and preference).

  1. Just as in the PC versus Mac face-off, each tremendous blender has its ardent proponents. Local honey is readily available at the local Natural Foods Market and the health benefits to be gained from eating local honey are numerous. It chops nearly something from fruit to veggie to even nuts.

  2. Awesome site you have here but I was wanting to know if you knew of any user discussion forums that cover the same topics talked about in this article? I’d really love to be a part of group where I can get feedback from other knowledgeable individuals that share the same interest. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Appreciate it!

  3. Negative spaces are the areas around and behind the positive spaces also known as the background. The Youth Learning Center is a progressive summer camp experience for kids who wish to learn video game design, digital comics, aeronautics or Lego Robotics. Parents can take their kids to a camp and look at pictures of previous years.
