350 University Innovation Fellows and faculty gathered for the Silicon Valley Meetup on March 21-25, 2019, at Stanford University's d.school and Google. They participated in experiential workshops and exercises focused on topics including movement building, innovation spaces, learning experience design, and new models for change in higher education.

We had a blast at the first meetup for Tam Makers, our new makerspace in Mill Valley. We hosted this free event at the wood shop at Tamalpais High School in Mill Valley on June 8, 2016.
A diverse group of people came to the visit the shop, learn about our classes and discuss how to grow our maker community. Participants ranged from experienced artists, technologists, makers and woodworkers, to people interested in learning new skills, as well as high school and middle school students and their parents.
We opened the shop at 6pm and folks started to connect right away, checking out some of our demos, showing off recent projects and touring the space. At 7pm, we gave a presentation on Tam Makers, and talked about our first courses, meetups and tools for adults and youth. We then discussed these programs as a group and received some really helpful feedback.
Most people were very interested in participating in Tam Makers and using the makerspace regularly. They also liked the mix of classes, ranging from maker art to technology and woodworking. Some people signed up for classes on the spot and most wanted to join more meetups. Many offered to volunteer as well. One person said this event had a great community feeling, unlike more commercially motivated makerspaces.
We’re really happy that this first meetup went so well and that so many folks want to participate actively. We look forward to collaborating with our new maker friends very soon!

In 2000 vierde de Katholieke Universiteit Leuven haar 575ste verjaardag. Om haar verbondenheid met de stad uit te drukken besliste de universiteit een kunstwerk te schenken aan de stad Leuven. Jan Fabre werd aangezocht om het werk te maken. Totem onthuld in oktober 2004. Het werk is een 2,7 meter grote kever die tegen de hemel is gespietst op een 23 meter hoge naald. Totem staat op het Ladeuzeplein, pal tegenover de centrale universiteitsbibliotheek, icoon van kennis en wetenschap bij uitstek.
Een totem is een verzamelplaats en een symbool van een andere werkelijkheid, iets wat aan onze waarneming ontsnapt. Op die manier benadrukt Totem de relatie tussen kunst en wetenschap, want fantasie kenmerkt zowel goede kunst als goede wetenschap. Zonder fantasie blijft de wetenschap een doods beschrijven van de werkelijkheid, zonder verbeelding doet kunst niets anders dan de werkelijkheid mooier voorstellen. We hebben fantasie nodig om anders te kunnen denken, om iets te kunnen veronderstellen dat we niet onmiddellijk zien. De kever drukt die metamorfose uit. Al bij de Egyptenaren was de scarabee het symbool van transformatie, van een metamorfose: een leven voorbij de werkelijkheid, een wederopstanding. Maar Fabres originele inspiratie komt uit de zeventiende eeuwse Vlaamse Vanitas schilderijen. Ook daar kropen de insecten over de doeken en verwezen ze naar de vergankelijkheid van de dingen en de dood, de noodzakelijke voorwaarde voor elke metamorfose of wederopstanding.
De kever is tegen de wolken geprikt, naar een horizon van inzicht, van vernieuwing. Dat zie je ook in het postuur van de kever. Anders dan zijn soortgenoten in de archiefkasten van het departement dierkunde, iets verderop, is de kever niet vastgezet tegen de grond, opgeplooid in een doodse houding, maar staat hij in de lucht, zijn vleugels uitgeslagen en zijn poten gespreid, klaar om weg te vliegen.

Eleni turned me onto this months ago, but I never took a close look until now that I am writing the Competitors section of my workshop report.
I totally love this group! I should have made my workshop project to be how to make THEM more popular.
From what I can tell, they are more like a free for all though. I couldn't find any sort of mechanism for referencing people or vouching for people. Which is in line with their stance I guess: one of self-organization. I suppose you could say that this is what my very first ideas were like for my project before David got me to push through and think about how a little structure really could help things move along.
Read their manifesto if I haven't shared it with you already because c'est adorable!
Let's be fearless.
Let's exercise our human right of assembly. Let's exploit it big-time.
Let's use the Internet to get people off the Internet.
Let's bring back the handshake. The verbal debate.
The smile. You know, some good ol' face-to-face,eye-to-eye contact.
When people get together amazing things happen.
They advocate, argue, learn, laugh and share.
Let's be a group. Let's be a real group.
Groups have a history of making history. People unite, motivate, activate and mobilize.
Groups give us the power to face a health crisis, start a political movement, pursue a passion, launch a business, and turn strangers into friends. To be bigger than ourselves.
Let's step away from our screens for a moment.
Do without the PC, the TV and the phone. People are more powerful than pixels. A real group can beat up a virtual group any day of the week.
Let's find the others. The ones that want the same thing.
Let's meet in real time, in real places, and make a real difference.
Let's Meetup.

In addition to meeting up (:P) with Vince, Gwen's friend, once I get to Montreal, I think I might throw myself into this system and see what happens. Also the place I might sublet sounds like it's something amazing. Melanie just wrote to let me know that it is a quasi-converted commercial building into a loft thing with lots of open shared spaces.. .I dig it!
k back to work.
