2. Outline Introduction Motivation Procedure for CDE Practice of CDE
CDE fostering frugal innovation
Case study Internet of Things (IoT)
Conclusion

3. Introduction Challenge-driven education
specialized knowledge be complemented by and built through open-ended, challenge based and interdisciplinary team work typically as student project format.
an approach will enable students to bridge the gap between
knowledge and societal demands, enabling them to make a
contribution to society
Train-the-Trainer (workshop in the context of IoT)
Engineering Education (future studies on the subject )

4. Challenge based learning
Focus on identification, analysis and design of a solution to a sociotechnical problem.
The learning experience is typically multidisciplinary, takes place in an international context and aims to find a collaboratively developed solution which is environmentally, socially and economically sustainable.
But does not need to be the fancy and cool course

5. Challenge Driven Education Approach
Project-based learning, meaning that the work is compiled into projects
Team-based learning, meaning that learning happens in a team setting Focusing on wicked, open-ended
problems that cannot be solved with the existing disciplinary knowledge
Involvement of external partners and clients in the projects, whether businesses or public bodies.

6. Challenge Driven Education Approach cont..
Learning is an social activity
Learning is often best achieved by solving real-world problems
Openness, Interdisciplinary, Technology
From building blocks (Traditional app) to thematic blocks (Teach number of concepts under one theme)
An innovative approach to assessments

7. Assessment of Challenge based learning
Assessment is different compared with traditional education
In challenge based learning settings, assessment of knowledge and skills are most often integrated and continuous throughout the project
This is different from traditional courses where students hand in assignment and perform on a final exam
Students knowledge and skills are very visible
It is crucial as a teacher / supervisor / facilitator to perform an open environment where students feel that they can try, fail and improve with out being judged
Feed back are crucial: From teachers, peers and stakeholders an in self assessment

8. CDE practice
Negawatt challenge global competition , Challenge Improving Resource Efficiency, world bank project
3rd Sci-GaiA workshop in the context of IoT, in Dar es Salaam on Open Science in Support for Education in September 2016 ( TTA and CDE)
CDE workshop at CoICT with MSc. and PHD student on iGrid project in the 18th of February 2017, in Dar es Salaam
Open Lab at KTH

9. KTH coached team Based on CDE practice wins the competition

10. TTA and Challenge Driven Education September 2016 Dar es Salaam ( COSTECH ) , Tanzania,
Development Open Science Platform with focus on integrating the knowledge triangle and providing Science Gateways: TTA PORTAL
Introducing a new approach for societal stakeholder integration through the CDE model and TTA supporting a comprehensive multi-partner interaction.
Physically co-locating the activities to university initiated co-creation, co-design, and co-drafting centers forming the local Open Labs and Maker Space meeting places

12. Process for Open Lab in KTH / Stockholm
Identify, analyze and present context and target group
Relate scientific perspectives to different practices
Develop, plan and evaluate new innovation ideas
Apply interactive and creative work and design methodology
Visualize and shape innovation projects through sketches, models and prototypes
Identify and analyze complex phenomena and present new innovation ideas that can be developed and implemented to be of lasting use and value for a specific target group
Design an organization for multidisciplinary project co-operation
Handle problems that are incompletely specified by making reasonable assumptions
Be able to communicate orally and in writing

13. Ground Element for Open Lab - Interdisciplinary team - Design Thinking and iterative process - Flexible and visual work / research environment

14. Key factors for success for CDE
Planning the course : purpose and expected outcome
Start from where you are not from zero
Choosing appropriate project lasts for high motivation and creativity
Having methods for organizing and managing projects
Setting and coaching teams
Clear assessment and grading procedures

15. Framework to Support the CDE
Transfer learning to more student centric from teacher centric
Provide a framework for intended learning outcomes such that curricula can be compared or to be made more equivalent independent of specific implementation details
Provide similarity across disciplines so that interdisciplinary course content can be integrated to disciplinary oriented curricula.

16. CDE Fostering Frugal Innovation and IoT
Frugal Innovation is the process of reducing the complexity and cost of a good and its production
IoT needs frugal innovation if it wants to live up to its promise of connecting billions of devices and helping people improve their lives.
Frugal IoT innovation in Health
Frugal IoT Innovation in Energy
Fugal IoT Innovation in Agriculture
Fugal IoT Innovation in Education

17. IoT Focus

18. Summary of Innovation through CDE
Problems are defined by the external stakeholders addressing real life problems and challenges with truly open ended formulation.
Problems may have a multidisciplinary character resulting the need to co-locate students to new environments
The students will be exposed to peer learning in addition of team work skills and project management issues through interaction with other students hopefully with different discipline background.
Needs for resources to initiate, develop and maintain Community of Practices and Knowledge Management of Science Gateways

19. Conclusions
The workshop held in Dar es Salaam, as part of Sci-GaiA project.
CDE approach shows it’s great importance for Innovation from the perspective of Teamwork and collaboration on iGrid project (MSc. PHD student )
Concepts of Open Lab have a long-term possibilities and venues of possibilities for researchers
