System Thinking in IT and Digital Fabrication — STHDF 2026-2027

Class 2026-2027 — Navigation​

Vision​

  • We are building a Trusted Single Source of Truth.
    3Rs: Right Information — For Right Role — in Right Time

  • Our Vision is to empower our students with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in the world of IT and Digital Fabrication by fostering a deep understanding of system thinking.

  • We aspire to create a community where innovative problem-solving thrives, enabling our students to become architects of the "trusted single source of truth" in the digital age.

  • Furthermore, we aim to bridge the gaps among "Islands of Knowledge," promoting a holistic perspective in an interconnected world.

Mission​

  • Our Mission is to provide a comprehensive educational experience that cultivates the core values of Communication, Understanding, Trust, Cooperation, and Success Solutions.

  • Through rigorous curriculum, hands-on learning, and collaborative projects, we aim to equip our students with the ability to analyze complex systems, make informed decisions, and implement sustainable solutions.

  • We are dedicated to nurturing a learning environment that encourages critical thinking, creativity, and ethical responsibility.

  • We are committed to building synergies among internal teams and external partners, fostering collaborations that enrich our students' experiences and broaden their horizons.

Commitment​

  • Without COMMUNICATION there is NO UNDERSTANDING
  • Without Understanding there is NO TRUST
  • Without Trust there is NO SUCCESSFUL SOLUTION

We are committed to:

  • bridging knowledge gaps, and
  • fostering collaborations among internal and external stakeholders,
  • aligning with the principles of system thinking and holistic problem-solving.

Principles​

Core principles​

  1. The goal is the journey.
  2. Knowledge is a by-product of every activity of a knowledge worker.
  3. Documentation is a snapshot of my current state of knowledge in a given context.
  4. A learning organization mindset (inspired by Peter Senge) — we practice:
    • Shared vision (values)
    • Mental models (culture)
    • Knowledge sharing ("I share knowledge so that we can grow together.")
    • Team learning (creating synergies)
    • Systems thinking (success is not an accident)

Grading — 75% of the final grade (continuous work)​

  1. Contributions to shared knowledge (KNIFEs).
  2. Systematic work — ongoing capture of activities and ideas, KNIFEs.
  3. Project intent and quality — helping others through the project, professional know-how, completeness across SDLC, quality of interim and final outputs.
  4. Responsibility for the shared final outcome.
  5. Teamwork and synergy seeking — within the class and within the wider KNIFE ecosystem.

Grading — 25% of the final grade (final presentation)​

  1. Individual contribution
  2. Team collaboration
  3. Delivered KNIFE(s)

How this year works (2026-2027)​

Onboarding a repozitáre sú tento rok postavené na GitHube, nie na Confluence/Bitbucket ani GitHub Classroom:

  1. Klon triedneho template repozitára — vlastný, čistý, bez cudzej histórie (viď K000119).
  2. Práca vo vlastnom GitHub repozitári počas semestra.
  3. Hotový výstup (7 sekcií) zdieľaš ako odkaz na svoj repozitár tam, kde ti povie vyučujúci. Do triedneho dashboardu (students/ST0XX/) ho premieta vyučujúci — nerobíš žiadny fork ani Pull Request do triedneho repozitára.
