Worldschoolers "DATA MAZE" workshop at DOX arts museum 2/11

The worldschoolers have a unique opportunity to participate in DOX workshop which is only available for us through Prague worldschooling. Its a customized event that is normally available for much older children and for schools. Ive arranged similar workshops before which have been enjoyed by the worldschoolers. It is in english, but we welcome czech speakers that are not fluent in english also. This event is for homeschoolers of all kinds and those that support homeschooling.

So when is it?

It is only held on Friday the 2nd of November at 11 o clock.

The cost:

Babies and toddlers up to 4 - 0 czk (the parents must look after them though)

Small kids from 5 - 50 czk

Adults that come also - 60 czk

The programme is originally for kids from 11 years and older but they are adapting this for us so its for kids from 7 and up. Kids that are older than 5 can participate as well but the parents have to help them if they need it. 

Its not for younger kids than that, but they are welcome too since I have made clear that we all have kids between 0 up to teens. They can watch or play by the side as long as the parents look after them. 

The modern art museum DOX is a pretty cool museum as you can read about here and here which you should visit at least once when in Prague. We have done workshops for worldschoolers twice before. See the video from the last DOX workshop at the bottom of this post.

Last time I arranged an event like this it filled up quickly. We were 50 worldschoolers including parents and children at the Planetarium excursion and I had to turn away 25 people that wanted to join us after the places were filled unfortunately. It was difficult to arrange that workshop with getting the list and the fee together so I will simplify it for all of us this time. There is limited spaces so it will be at "first come first served" basis. The group will be around 15 participants in the age asked for (7-11) plus all the family members from those same families.

How to secure your place:

You need to fill in this form with how many adults and kids you will pay for, and how many younger than 5s that you will bring. You are guaranteed a place when you have paid. You need to pay before filling in the form at least 7 days in advance so I will have everything prepared in time.

You can pay like this:

- Pay by bitcoin by scanning this QR code. This is my preferred method of payment. Its so easy and no fuss once you know how to use it. If not join one of our bitcoin meet ups.

- Pay by Paypal (ask me for the account by sending a message here or PM in Facebook.

- Come to one of our worldschooling meet ups and pay me (Caroline King) in person.
- I dont accept bank transfers.

Details of the meet up:

We will meet at the entrance of DOX at 10.45 am. Dont be late! But if you are ask in the reception for the Datamaze worldschooling workshop.

Information from DOX about the workshop:

How does my digital content get created? What all can be done with it? Who can access it? The objective of the DATA SHADOW programme is to talk with participants and reflect on what data they are creating, for example through social networks, messenger applications, or video streaming services, and whether they realize who can find it and what they can use it for. We live in an era of remixing, post-production, an open universe of networking – data is omnipresent and easily used.

In one of its projects the Tactical Tech organization works with the concept of a “digital shadow” – data that we create as we move through and participate in the internet without realizing it. These are various types of data (called metadata) that often is created with our agreement but without our awareness. One could say that we create it unintentionally. From thinking about this data that one does not directly generate oneself, one is only a few small steps away from thinking about the data that is the result of our activity in the digital world (called content).

The accompanying programme is adapted to the age of the group and contains discussions, activities within the exhibition, and a final workshop.

After the workshop we will most likely go out for lunch in one of the really good (and affordable) places around here and after that probably head on to a nearby play ground for those that wants to join us.

Welcome!
