a workshop at ChiliPlop

[Prof David West]

This is not complexity, per se, so feel free to delete without reading
further.

I am conducting a workshop at ChiliPlop
(http://www.hillside.net/chiliplop/2008/) this year focused on
re-inventing computing education in a way that would create the kind of
innovative and grounded "computationalists" that we would want working
with us at the Santa Fe Complex.  Also in a way that would create a more
seamless and integrated path from upper elementary school to university
to professional/life-long learning.

I am hoping to have a small group 8-14 participating in this effort.  I
can assure you that you will enjoy the experience if the topic captures
your imagination and Carefree is a fun place to spend a few days working
with interesting people.

If you are interested and want to attend, please register asap (the
organizers are trying to finalize a room count) using the URL

http://www.hillside.net/chiliplop/2008/registrationform2008.html

Sorry to interrupt the list with a peripheral, but I know some of you
might be interested.

Dave,

The good news is we got a very good project with Kellogg Foundation to model
pathways for meaningful work for urban youth in the nation. And we persuaded
them to let us model Santa Fe.

Bad news, is I have to be in Battlecreek, MI a couple days before ChiliPlop so I
won't be able to make it.

As a thought, what about doing a warm up workshop at a BarCamp like event at
sfComplex and have Competencies, Patterns and Courses: Oh My! be a central
topic?

It might be interesting to see how results from the 3 activities (atom catalog,
patterns and packaging) might be different and similar iterating it twice in
Santa Fe and Carefree.

Your workshop is basically Bottega design, right? It should be the kick-off
event at the Complex if we believe in eating our own dogfood.
