Develop Your Ideas
This workshop is for anyone who has an idea and the determination to make it happen. The workshop is based on a short book I wrote with the same title, Develop Your Ideas. The workshop and book draw on concepts from human centered design, creative practice, and inclusion.
Illuminating Change
This is a hands-on, creative workshop for community leaders in which we have conversations about change and then brainstorm, sketch, and build illuminated objects that help us visualize change. Objects include light-up pendants, lanterns, pop-up books, and more.
Music Tech Fellowship
This is a workshop I do in partnership with musician and composer Zaun Marshburn. It is for community leaders who are interested in using music as a path to elevating tech skills in their community – from basic digital skills to advanced. Click to SUPPORT this work.
