Remember Science Fairs in grade school? The Mozilla version involves grown-ups and cocktails, but it's pretty much the same concept. Smart people who are passionate about their super-cool projects -- research, learning models, web projects, software, experiments -- want to show you what they're working on and get your feedback and ideas. They'll bring out their prototypes, wireframes, maps, charts, and crazy ideas while you explore and engage.''' ''' | |||

7:00—9:00pm Cocktails, snacks, mingling and exploring
Where? The Mozilla Science Fair at the Digital Media and Learning 2011 conference will be held in the promenade at the conference hotel venue. This is on the 2nd floor
Remember Science Fairs in grade school? The Mozilla version involves grown-ups and cocktails, but it's pretty much the same concept. Smart people who are passionate about their super-cool projects -- research, learning models, web projects, software, experiments -- want to show you what they're working on and get your feedback and ideas. They'll bring out their prototypes, wireframes, maps, charts, and crazy ideas while you explore and engage.
Check out video of our last science fair, in Barcelona.Who's participating?
