"Tools and Curriculum for the Digital Bottega"
The Santa Fe Complex celebrates its opening with a BarCamp in conjunction with FRIAMGroup, an emergent organization of complexity researchers and software developers.
As we launch Santa Fe Complex the question comes up about what kinds of knowledge, tools and forms of learning will best prepare folks interested in:
- constructing models and simulations
- designing visualizations
- exploring computational art
- facilitating innovative stakeholder meetings
- doing qualitative field research in complex systems
- designing novel physical computing interfaces
- performing data analysis
- designing computer games
Experience from programs like Project GUTS, SFI Complex Systems Summer School, NM Supercomputing Challenge, UNM ARTSLab, College of Santa Fe's Moving and Image Arts and the upcoming Software Institute and Warehouse21 will offer models to borrow from.
A related focus is the design of the actual physical space and interaction rules that will foster a healthy digital Bottega.
For more on Bottega Design with respect to computer science education at College of Santa Fe, see Dave West's proposal for Chiliplop in AZ that will happen the following week.
