Cosplay… You know you want to. Just because we get older doesn’t mean we still don’t like to play Dress Up every now and again. (As evidenced by the huge industry Halloween costumes for adults has become.) But why should October get all the glory? Ren Faire, Conventions, and meetups provide, throughout the year, plenty of excuses to dress a bit… differently then one might feel comfortable donning in you everyday life. You’re not REQUIRED to wear a costume at events like these, but it’s easy to become inspired and want to dip your toe in… Or maybe you’re just tired of buying off the rack when Halloween rolls around. Either way, you no doubt have questions. Do I need to know how to sew? Do I need to spend a lot of money? Does it need to be “screen accurate”? I’ll tell you right now, the answer to all of these questions is “No”. So… That was a spoiler and maybe you think you don’t need to come to my presentation now, but do come anyway because I hate talking to myself.

LIFE: Learning Innovations in Future Education
| Learning Innovations in Future Education (LIFE) is the new education arm of The Futures Lab, Inc. The practical application of emerging and immersive technologies in the creation, design, and production of our version of experiential education is based on what TFL founder Derek Woodgate coins “sense events” (which is the bailiwick of our FEEL division). These multisensory, immersive, interactive events tangibly, engagingly, and tactilely demonstrate many of the wonderful, “magical,” and creative emerging inventions and innovations in development, specifically, those that are aimed at future‐proofing (anticipating future developments, which empower students to take actions to minimize possible negative consequences, as well as identify opportunities) and augmenting our collective future. The goal in to inform, inspire, ignite, and catalyze the student.
At Maker Faire, we will feature info boards as well as compelling video on our four areas of focus: “Living Classrooms” (including transformative spaces), “Make Magic,” Redesigning Conferences and Workshops, and Interactive Storytelling. |
