Previous Camps

The Innovation Camp 2023 was a healthcare and welfare-themed university summer camp in Struer from July 3–20, 2023. Students from various engineering programs at Technical University Denmark (DTU) and Aarhus University (AU), as well as Struer Statsgymnasium, gathered for three weeks to work with challenges under the theme ”Sound Solution”.

They were asked to explore problems and create solutions within one of the three sub-categories:

• Too Much Sound
• Too Little Sound
• Sound as a Source of Wellbeing.

During the three weeks, they came up with four very different and creative concepts and built four working prototype models:

• The Baby Pacifier 2,0 – a sound and vibration-based solution to soothe unsteady infants, imitating the environment from the maternal womb.​
• FlowZone – a de-stress area for office staff, offering relaxation and/or revitalization based on music, vibrations and lights
• VibraSound – a haptic device which transforms
•  concert experiences for persons with hearing disabilities
• An adaptive, personalized tinnitus masking based on an open ear bone conductor.

The program included lectures and mentors networking with industry professionals from the sound tech industry and exploring Struer's many opportunities and offers within the city and nature and sound art, culture and history.

The students were accommodated at the boarding school facilities of Struer Statsgymnasium.
