I am interested in attending. Live and work in MN however I could fit this in with a trip to Denver the following week.
I am a design engineer, scholar of Bucky Fuller, biomimicry education fellow, and teach online sustainable design classes through MCAD. Interested in how I can get my students doing more collaboration.
