Welcome to WinterSpring24
The Swiss GBS and Dutch GLR school joined forces for this innovative cultural exchange project centered around the exciting realm of Internet of Things (IoT).
In this dynamic collaboration, students from different backgrounds (technical, media, and design professions) explore the intersection of cultures and cutting-edge technology.
As winter turns into spring, the project not only takes place in the Swiss mountains in January but also witnesses the bloom of shared knowledge and Dutch tulips in Rotterdam in March 2024.
Join us on this journey of discovery, where cultural exchange meets technological innovation.
Working in teams
The Swiss and Dutch students have embarked on a joint exchange project, merging their talents and perspectives in six mixed teams.
Each team has undertaken the challenge of introducing themselves to their global counterparts. From St.Gallen to Rotterdam, students are coming together to share not only their cultural backgrounds but also their skills and aspirations.
To document their journey, each team is curating a dedicated page filled with insights into their collaborative activities on IoT:
- Topic 1: Interactive IoT workshop featuring dollhouses packed with modern technology (NodeRED)
- Topic 2: Understand LoRa technology and data collection using the IoT Cube measuring the signal strength at different positions:
- With IoT Cube
- With TrackerD (to equip a drone)
- Using a drone to measure the signal strength
- Design Thinking Workshop
- Skiing, Snowboarding, and Snow activities @Savognin
- Swiss Food and Cheese Fondue @Savognin
