On the 12th of June OOOMS stepped on a plane to Mexico. We were invited by CEDIM to give a 5 day
workshop about interior & product design. Before we left we put lots of effort in the preparation so
nothing could surprise us.

CEDIM is situated in Monterrey, a modern city which is surrounded by stunningly beautiful mountains,
where it easily gets up to 40 degrees Celsius.

Our group consisted of 23 students from different departments and some participants were already
graduated. One of the main goals of the workshop was to make the participants realise that limitations
of a material mainly exist in their brain, not in the material itself.

The participants really worked hard. Not only we, but even the staff was surprised how the students
took over the whole school to work on their projects. Students were working in the classroom and
in the workshop, but also any other empty room, in the basement and in the hallway.
It was amazing to see them work with such enthousiasm! Even when Mexico was playing the soccer
match against France, the students kept on working while watching the game! The night before the
presentation some students even didn’t go to bed and worked the whole night, just to have their
project finished; That’s the spirit!

At the end presentation we really felt proud of our students; So many great projects made in just
1 week! According to all the lovely reactions from the students and the staff, and even the director
of the school, we must have done a pretty good job!

We would like to thank all the participants for their great effort and our friends of the staff for
taking such good care of us!
