We grad students at the CHI Initiative have been talking about what a great experience it is to be able to play with technologies in ways that many of us would never have attempted otherwise. We thought it would be great to be able to share in this experience with other graduate students who are interested in technology but have not yet had the chance to explore what’s out there. So, we decided to coordinate a CHI digital bootcamp for graduate students.
When: March 26th 8:30 to 3
Where: MATRIX 4th Floor Conference Room
Who: Any graduate or professional students
Why: To learn about technology in a collaborative and open environment with other graduate and professional students
This bootcamp will include roundtable discussions and demos on new Online Social Media like Twitter and LinkedIn, Reference and Collaboration Platforms like Zotero, and Personal Websites using WordPress or Drupal. We will also have an open play time where graduate students can work with one another to learn the discussed technologies.
The bootcamp will provide both breakfast and lunch. Remember to bring your own laptop!

This bootcamp has been made possible by the wonderful support from The Graduate School, MATRIX: The Center for the Humane
Arts, Letters, and Social Sciences Online, The Cultural Heritage Informatics Initiative, Department of Writing, Rhetoric, and American Cultures, Department of History, and Department of Anthropology.
