We are holding four meetings during the spring of 2010 to explore computational crafts, Do-It-Yourself (DIY), and education. We are bringing together a group of leaders in electronic textiles, education, and DIY to discuss new educational approaches, new technologies, and new creative communities. The series is sponsored by the MacArthur Foundation through their Digital Media and Learning program: http://digitallearning.macfound.org/.
