We Operate Best Together Update #3
Posted By Morgan on March 16, 2010
I sent this out to backers who were subscribed to my newsletter at the beginning of this month.
Just wanted to update the larger interwebs on the status of We Operate Best Together. Been a while since my 2nd update so apologies on the late ping. Here’s the latest…
Moved Back To San Diego
I returned successfully from Australia and within a week, got offered a full-time job at Media Arts Center San Diego! I’m now the Lab Program Manager for our DIY New Media Lab and manage all aspects of programming, partnerships and fundraising for the Lab. It’s hard work building a lab, but also something I’m very excited about. I’ve always wanted to build one since I was little.
I blog regularly about my work at the Lab and live just half a block away in the beautiful neighborhood of Golden Hill.
Partnering With FabLab San Diego
Currently, I’m building a stronger partnership with our friends at FabLab San Diego. Like Media Arts Center San Diego, they are also working to bridge the digital divide using digital media and technology. They have some of the same needs and desires as we do too - great workshops, fun partnerships and new revenue/funding models. I just helped them redesign their new website with the lovely Ms. Bea. It only seems fitting that we would operate better together:)
Reflecting on My Time With CuriousWorks
Working with CuriousWorks was amazing. They are a small and agile organization that uses technology and creativity better than anyone I have ever worked with. Big kudos to Shakthi, Elias, Amiée, Naomi and Peter. The kids we worked with in Newman got on got on national news (print and tv!), put on a successful film festival and discovered 33 things they can do. You can also follow CuriousWorks’ blog.
UPDATE!: Since we left Newman, the kids have started started filming a new movie and the teachers at both Newman Senior High and South Newman Primary pulled together to purchase new computers for the kids to work with!
