Social discussion of CS in K-12

["Wolske, Martin B" <mwolske AT illinois.edu>]

Hi all,

I've had a chance to speak to a couple of you about this, but I'll be 
teaching a summer Community Informatics Studio course. Initially the project 
was going to focus on design of space and programming for a new design and 
innovation center within Grainger library. But after a number of 
conversations over the last few days, we're taking a step back and will be 
exploring community assets, needs, and goals regarding design and innovations 
spaces on campus and around the community more generally. I'm actually quite 
pleased with this modified project and think it is a better first step that 
can inform a number of projects. Indeed, I've gotten strong interest from 
those already working in such spaces to see the final report from the CI 
Studio project. 

I'd appreciate your help in getting the word out regarding the class 1) to 
recruit students from a range of disciplines to participate; and 2) to help 
us get in touch with various stakeholders around the community with whom 
students can meet this summer. 

Attached is a blurb. Please feel encouraged to disseminate widely. And your 
feedback on the project is greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

-- Martin
