Project outside of course scope
This is a 15 ECTS project course that runs in Block 3 & 4. You can also join Critical Making as a 7.5 ECTS project or as the foundation for your master thesis. If you are interested in that please email professor Pernille Bjørn, DIKU pernille dot bjorn at di.ku.dk
We want to change the narrative of how Neurodiversity in Computer Science is pictured and we want to do this by combining art and technology, inspired by the GRACE project.
The project will be structured like a course with key milestones in a timeline that we will all work under. We will provide you with literature, teaching and knowledge as well as giving you feedback and input for the final product and report.
You will work in smaller groups of 2-3 people throughout the entire project, and in these groups you will also create a report in the end. This report will be a reflexive report which will be the baseline for the exam. The exam will be a portfolio exam type in groups – don’t worry, we will provide you with templates and guidance all the way through the project so you are 100 % ready when the exam dates arrive.
There is room for 10 students total and is available for both Master & Bachelor students.
During the project, you will work with the following people from DIKU:
Pernille Bjørn
Jenny-Margrethe Vej
