Resources while working and creating online during virus lockdown

HI all This is my first blog post for STARTS.eu as part of the STARTS Ecosystems, here to support artists collaborating with scientists and technologists from all the STARTS Community. And since we're all cooped up in our homes during the COVID-19 virus pandemic, more than ever we - us for you but also all of us in the community (i.e. you too) - can share and support each other. I have found a small collection of resources that I hope we can share in a more formalised way in the Resources section of this website. But for now here you go: Online hackathons to try help the COVID-19 efforts … Biotech and Data Hackathon https://www.eventbrite.com/e/coronahack-ai-vs-covid-19-tickets-99337559314?utm-medium=discovery&utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&utm-source=strongmail&utm-term=listing - although there’s a wait list and its mostly for scientists other Tech for Good hackathons https://wearsustain.eu/announcements/cd37b655-40ac-4fcd-aebb-b8f253b47962 some other good resources to share: US based but still great list of Arts Resources https://creative-capital.org/2020/03/13/list-of-arts-resources-during-the-covid-19-outbreak/ Online Facebook group for sharing resources for teaching Art https://www.facebook.com/groups/onlineartanddesigninstruction/?notif_id=1584993129787062¬if_t=groups_invite_confirmed_feedback http://shift-work.org.uk/ Shift/Workshops are composed, playtested and scored by artist-paragogues.
