Based on the belief that understanding technology equals the power to determine our future, Power Up is an opportunity to explore what it means to live online while simultaneously honing community, creativity, and literacy.
The world is increasingly digital. How can we start to hack our everyday digital tools to build new worlds, become critical thinkers, and collaborate with peers across the world?
Power Up, presented by POWRPLNT, is a festival of artist-led engagement with technology. Programming will include courses that use data as design material, turn your IOS device into a recording studio, and more!
Students will be introduced to art and technology spaces across the US, explore creative code, and become part of the growing community of young people who want to use technology to build a better world.
Classes will be conducted online via Zoom, as well as other platforms varying by course. Students will meet on Saturday, October 17th and Sunday, October 18th from 12pm-6pm EST.
