ANDORRA CULTURAL HERITAGE

The goal of the project is to find a new way to emphasize cultural heritage as a potential area of interest for tourists and citizens, and to put the culture at the foundation of the transformation and innovation process. Cultural heritage is the legacy of our ancestors: customs, traditions, places, objects, and values are passed on from generation to generation, but unfortunately, many are lost on the way. This project stresses the importance of cultural heritage: both how it defines us, and our duty to not only preserve it but also recover it.

YOUNG FUTURE

Data Mining for Young Minds: Canillo

The goal of this series of workshops is to introduce Andorran (8-10 years old) kids  to data mining. Through this series of workshops they will discover the process of extracting knowledge from data through an emotional city mapping. 

A dedicated application has been designed to enable students to capture emotional and perception data at various locations of the city. The collected data are then aggregated, analyzed, and interpreted through a series of different visualization tools.

At the end of these workshops the students learned the main phases of data mining, including, data collection, data aggregation, and data visualization. Most importantly, they gained a deeper emotional understanding of their surrounding environment that enable critical thinking about the current state of their city and a proposal of future  urban improvements.
