# Block Projects

**Block Projects** (Blockprojekte) are intensive, short-term focused courses or workshops used as a primary pedagogical method at the [[cdfi]], particularly within the [[lehrstuhl-neue-medien-und-angewandte-grafik]].

## Characteristics
Unlike traditional semester-long courses, block projects are concentrated bursts of study that allow for:
- **Rapid Integration of Trends:** The ability to quickly introduce cutting-edge topics (e.g., Generative AI, VR) into the curriculum.
- **External Expertise:** Facilitating the participation of guest lecturers, professional artists, and researchers who may not be permanent faculty.
- **Focused Exploration:** Deep dives into specific techniques or conceptual frameworks (e.g., "Scantology" or "Found Footage") over a limited timeframe.

## Examples of Implementation
At the Chair of New Media & Applied Graphics, block projects have covered a wide spectrum from traditional techniques like screen printing to advanced digital production like 360° video.
