Artists Connecting with Open Source Humanitarian Engineering Projects

Everyone needs art!  Especially humanitarian engineering non-profits!

Join us for a free webinar to bring together graphic artists who are looking for paid work or willing to volunteer for humanitarian NGOs and nonprofits with thought leaders.

We will briefly talk about art in STEM and the needs of Public Invention, and then devote the rest of the hour to show-and-tell for artists to show their portfolios, nonprofits to discuss their needs, and to brainstorm ideas for using art more generally to create a public invention and humanitarian engineering movement.

Jun. 15th (Thu.) 8:00 PM CDT to 9:30 PM CDT
