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.
