About the project

OpenTechSchool Brussels combined event organisation, curriculum building and teaching. The emphasis was on making technical learning social, approachable and open to participants with very different backgrounds.

Rather than a conventional class, the format relied on volunteer coaches, reusable open teaching material and a community that could keep learning from itself.
