End User development (EUD) – Tallinn Summer School

Non-Degree / Dates: 13 – 17 July 2026

This week-long, accelerated, hands-on course is designed to empower participants to shape the digital tools they rely on actively. Through practical end-user development, they will learn to design, automate, and evaluate software prototypes using system architecture fundamentals, workflow automation, and no- or low-code technologies.

The course adopts a practical, problem-solving approach. Participants begin by framing a real-world challenge, learning how to decompose it using multi-layered task-tracking methodologies. They then design and implement automated workflows using no- or low-code tools such as n8n and AI-powered assistants. Supported by instructors with expertise in interaction design, automation engineering, and applied AI, each student will create a working prototype and learn how to monitor, refine, and validate its performance. By the end of the course, participants will not only gain technical confidence but also the autonomy to shape their own digital environments.

This week-long course is ideal for individuals who want to move from concept to creation without the traditional barriers of software engineering. It is especially valuable for students, researchers, innovators, entrepreneurs, and professionals seeking to prototype and evaluate digital solutions rapidly.

Why this course?

Upon completion, participants will:

Develop the ability to analyse and decompose real-world problems using system architecture principles and task-tracking methodologies
Gain the skills to design, implement, and evaluate automated workflows and functional prototypes using no-/low-code tools, databases, and AI assistants

Teacher(s)

Aishah Shah, MSc in Innovative Technologies for Learning, Junior Research Fellow in the School of Digital Technologies, Tallinn University.

Timetable

Classes take place Monday to Friday. The lectures are scheduled for each day from 10:00 to 13:00. After lunch, students will have time to work on their projects in our labs.

Participants

This course is designed for individuals who want to turn their ideas into working digital solutions without deep programming expertise. It is ideal for non-ICT professionals, students, researchers and innovators who want to rapidly prototype and test automated workflows to support their projects, services, or research.

The course is limited to 20 participants.
