TEAM WE

The project idea is to involve teachers and students from different fields of education (social and health care, it, electrical/mechanical engineering) in solving real problems relating to welfare technology, together, in work places in the field of social and health care, in co-operation with the work places. The focus in working life will be in elderly care, not excluding other work or care environments. The problems are either related to existing welfare technologies or they can be solved with welfare technology not yet used in the work place. Methodology of design thinking offers tools for problem solving. From pedagogical point of view the teachers involved in the project will gain and use skills in team teaching, problem and phenomenon –based teaching, flipped learning and teaching.
