Teacher CftG
Studio Barbara Vos teaches research & design at Class for the Gifted (CftG). This is a teaching program for gifted 7th and 8th graders from dozens of primary schools in The Hague and the surrounding area. This program concerns pupils who are often bored for a large part of the week in primary education, even in a possible plus class. They flourish if they can participate in the “Class for the Gifted” one morning or afternoon a week: three hours of lessons in mathematics, robotics and research & design. There is a great need for such a program. On average we host 52 different schools in The Hague and the surrounding area, divided into ten classes on three different days (mornings and afternoons).
NEOM
NEOM Saudi Arabia bought a panel with tex-tiles of Studio Barbara Vos to include this in their material library for architects.
What is NEOM? Merging digital end-to-end design with sustainable construction in a fourth industrial revolution to ensure NEOM is the standard by which the industry measures itself. A retooled economic model built on advanced technology, best-in-class efficiency, worker welfare and competency – in order to deliver livability and capital projects standards never before witnessed. Not just in NEOM, but in the global market beyond. This is a game-changing circular economy with digital prototyping, built in parallel with a fundamentally progressive society – at a scale and speed previously not thought possible. In short, a new ecosystem to help build smarter, more ethical and highly-profitable industries. Join our transformational movement, be the change.

On Saturday 27 September, dozens of creatives from The Hague will gather in Prins27 (location Koorenhuis). During the Haagse Makersbeurs they show each other and the public what is being produced in The Hague. The Hague Maker Fair is a platform for creatives, artisans and technicians who are active in The Hague and want to show others what they make in their workshops, studios and attics. During the fair, the Makers will give demonstrations of their own creations, crafts and baking, and there will be plenty of opportunity to network with each other and the public.
Fashion artist Sara Vrugt, beer brewery Bogt, Repair Kid and HockeyTracker are among others present at the fair. HockeyTracker demonstrates the technology that made its global debut during the last Hockey World Cup in The Hague. This makes it possible to visualize ball speed and strength during hockey matches, among other things. In addition to product demonstrations and tastings, the Haagse Makersbeurs also offers a stage to musicians, VJs and DJs who give shows with self-built equipment and instruments in the main hall of the Koorenhuis.
