HCI+ISE Conference Update
It has been a couple of weeks now since we hosted the Human Computer Interaction in Informal Science Education (HCI+ISE) conference and we wanted to let you know about what's next.
First off, many conference participants (and others) have asked about the potential for a follow-up conference. At the moment, nothing is planned, but we are looking to host a meetup as part of the Association of Science -Technology Centers (ASTC) 2013 conference in October here in Albuquerque. Please contact us if you are interested in attending (this open to anyone, not just participants of the HCI+ISE conference).
The HCI+ISE LinkedIn Group is now open to anyone who would like to join. We hope to continue our conversation there. In addition, there is an HCI+ISE Flickr Group with photographs from the event (some are shared below).
In September, a PDF and print book of the conference findings will be made available on the HCI+ISE website. We will post updates about this publication and the ASTC conference meetup later this summer. Thanks again to Intel for their sponsorship and to the National Science Foundation which provided major support for this conference.
