MARCH 22-23, 2013 RENAISSANCE HOTEL, WASHINGTON, D.C. Learning spaces affect learning outcomes. Share your space of invention at Open 2013. Spaces of Invention @ Open 2013 is an exploration of the spaces in which we educate young innovators. We'd like you to share the inspiring physical spaces where invention and innovation happen, the spaces that catalyze collaboration and have an impact on pedagogy, curriculum and most importantly on the outcomes for our students. HOW TO PARTICIPATE We are hosting a plenary session dedicated to this topic at Open 2013, our annual conference. Sign up now to participate in that session, giving a brief, dynamic presentation at the Smithsonian's Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation at the National Museum of American History. Click here for guidelines and to apply. Present your space in one of the conference poster sessions. To submit, log in, select "Apply for a Grant or Enter a Competition," then click "Select an RFP" and navigate to "NCIIA 17th Annual Conference Call for Posters." Attend the Spaces of Invention track at Open 2013. The Spaces of Invention plenary session will take place before the launch of the Open Minds event on Friday, March 22. Selected participants and their spaces of invention will be considered for possible inclusion in a signature piece of the Lemelson Center's 2015 Places of Invention exhibition: an interactive map accessible to in-person and online exhibition visitors. ___________________________________________________________ OTHER OPPORTUNITIES You can also take part in the Program Models track at the conference. It follows a similar structure to Spaces of Invention, but looks into the teaching of entrepreneurship and innovation. We want to know how you are changing the culture on campus. Find out more here. PRODUCED IN COLLABORATION WITH What are people saying about Open? This was my first time at NCIIA and it was FANTASTIC! I am definitely coming back. So many of the talks I went to covered tangible things (tools, contacts, exercise, frameworks) that I can use in my class on commercializing new technologies. It was truly a valuable use of my time to come to the conference! This was probably the most informative meeting I've ever attended with respect to discovering what other institutions are doing similar work! -- Visit this forum on the web at http://discuss.coworking.com --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group.
