DESCRIPTION
Introduction to SomeJam 14.3.2014.TRANSCRIPT
JAMImagine a Jam session in music. You come together, bringing your instruments, your skills, your open mind. Someone sets
up a theme, and you start to Jam around it. You don't overanalyse it, you don't discuss it to death, you Jam. You bounce your ideas off other people, and play around with what comes back. Together, you build something which
none of you could have built alone. And at the same time, you are learning new ideas, discovering more about how you work and whom you best work with, sharpening your skills,
and having a great time. !
JAMA Jam is a gathering of people from different backgrounds such as
designers, business people, academics, students, youth workers, social workers, teachers and customers who are interested in service and
customer experience. !
48 hours of time to create new solutions - lot´s of technological challenges, innovative people, creative solutions, communal activities,
working together, concept creation, and a great deal more. With an open mind and great curiosity, we will work together in a teams to research,
experiment and prototype new service solutions inspired by the theme of the Jam, all in 48 hours! On the final day of Jam all ideas and products will
be published to the world under a Creative Commons License.
