Lisbon Summer 2024

July 2024 was an exciting month for interdisciplinary study abroad in Lisbon, Portugal.

Our Interdisciplinary Projects course collaborated with our partner institution, the Universidade Católica Portuguesa (UCP), and worked with a local client in Lisbon, Batoto Yetu to develop a virtual reality product telling the rich history and contributions of African immigrants to Portugal.

Dr. David Silva and Dr. Teddy Workneh co-taught the course and students had the opportunity to use the open-source technology GLARE, an augmented reality/virtual reality tool developed by Kent State Faculty.
