Next meeting Saturday, 10/15, 10am at ACC
Updated 10/15/2011 with new information links below.
As some of you know, we decided to take the summer off. Normally we would have had a meeting in September, but I elected to attend Mobile UX Camp in DC. Then the next day, my family and I did a day trip to Maker Faire in Queens, NY. OLPC had a booth there.
So the Learning Club is meeting again on:
Saturday October 15, 2011, 10am-1pm
Arlington Career Center
816 South Walter Reed Drive
Arlington, VA 22204

I’ll be fresh from two days of sponsor meetings at the MIT Media Lab earlier in the week, so I’m sure I’ll have some interesting news. This is the first event to be hosted by Joi Ito, the lab’s new director.

- Update from Becky Young on her deployment in Honduras
