Contribute

We need talented and passionate people to enhance and spread the approach, games, and devices.

A collaborative mindset

We aim open collaboration, which is not compatible with the competitive mindset that can often be found in start-up and for-profit organizations. To ensure a smooth cooperation, we set up following rules.

By participating, you agree

  • to document and share all your contributions in an editable, open standard format so that other contributors can use, adapt and enrich it
  • to contribute to a safe space where every person has their place: you will only provide constructive feedback, and will avoid language that may trample the dignity of people, including humor
  • that we may record and broadcast your image (pictures, videos, audio, ...)
  • that your participation may be the part of scientific research.

Should you wish to clarify any of these points, feel free to contact us.
