Drumbeat Science Fair: MACBA Atrium, Nov 3, 9pm - sign up before Oct 22

The Drumbeat Festival will hold a Science Fair on opening night. The idea: show off what you've got and seek out collaborators for the next two days.

This will be your first chance to present something at the Festival -- research, prototypes, demos, crazy ideas, experiments, trials, tests, investigations, studies, whatever -- in a casual setting to some of the smartest people working on open education on the web today.

The Science Fair is scheduled on Wednesday, November 3 from 9pm – 11pm. It will take place as part of the opening reception, following a keynote by Creative Commons CEO Joi Ito.

We'll have tables, chairs, power-outlets...and cocktails! Other participants will wander around the exhibits, stopping to chat, watch demos, ask questions, and generally just dive in and talk about stuff.

FYI, we've done this before. Check out these Mozilla Summit Science Fair pictures to get a sense of how it works.
