We are happy to share a new publication with you! Together with the TU Graz, the DOIT team from Salzburg Research, wrote a paper about business models for Open Educational Resources (OER). This publication discusses which models are suitable for OER initiatives such as DOIT.

The DOIT team published another great article introducing the project to the world!

There are a lot of easy ways to introduce beginners to coding. With our little robot "Cubetto", children can explore basic programming, since the robot can only move one step forward or turn 90 degrees to the left or to the right. The participants should design a game board for the robot (for example there were many ideas for a labyrinth) and then program it without errors to the goal.

You often encounter obstacles during the development of products and services. These obstacles may intimidate some people and they stop working - but if you don't let them get you down, you'll soon find out that things can go up again even after a setback: This is called "failing forward".

The team of SRFG had the great opportunity to participate in the children's City Salzburg 2019, organized by the Verein Spektrum. The concept of the Childrens' city is simple: it is a city for children!
