FAQs

Jumpstart Minis are bite-sized hands-on workshops for learning and discovering immersive technology such as augmented reality, virtual reality (VR) and 360 VR. There are also workshops on designing computer graphics for immersive tech.
Jumpstart Minis are open to all current NUS students and staff with a valid NUSNET account, who are new to immersive technology. :)

You get to discover immersive technology and learn some introductory skills to develop your own immersive tech experience. You can also get input from us as you create your own immersive tech output.

 

Jumpstart Minis is also one of the first programmes in NUS Libraries to roll out digital badges, in which a successful completion of a session earns you a digital badge that you can display online! More on the badges here.

They are conducted around Nov – Dec and Apr – May each year.

Sessions in Oct-Nov 2024 are conducted at the Digital Scholarship Lab, Central Library Level 4.

Each workshop is designed to last between 1-2 hours.

Physical workshops:

Each workshop will be limited to 30 participants to manage the hands-on experience.


Online workshops:

Each workshop will be limited to 50-150 participants to manage the online hands-on experience.
