Computer Clubhouse 20th Anniversary
This week the Computer Clubhouse Network held its annual conference here in Boston. It’s here in Boston because 2013 is the 20th Anniversary of the start of the first Computer Clubhouse at the Computer Museum here in Boston in 1993. From that beginning, the network has grown to more than 100 Clubhouses in 20 countries. I realized that it’s also an anniversary for me. Later in May I will have been working with the Clubhouse Network for 10 years. Pretty amazing for what was supposed to be a 12 month contract.
It’s been a fun week. From the opening icebreaker…
To a panel of former Clubhouse members, three of whom are now working as Clubhouse coordinators in their communities…
To a MaKey Makey workshop at the Media Lab today, and many other activities, presentations and panels in between.
It’s been great to reconnect with such a creative group of people from all over the world. Some that I’ve known now for 10 years, and others that I just met for the first time this year.
