CyborgCamp is an unconference about the future of the relationship between humans and technology. We will discuss topics such as futures of identity, privacy, surveillance, hardware to wetware, drones, 3D printing, cyberpunk, human augmentation, constructed reality, the second self, ethics, robot rights, sexuality, urban design, and anthropology.
Join us October 10 from 09:00 to 18:00 (6p) on the 3rd floor of the MIT Media Lab for a one-day unconference on the future of humanity and technology! This is the very first CyborgCamp at MIT Media Lab and one of many CyborgCamp events.

@caseorganic @cyborgcamp @medialab looks awesome! but the scholarship application form seems broken? -___-
@b_dresser Oh! Thanks for checking! I’ll get that up and fixed shortly, then will let you know when you can apply!
@caseorganic amazing, thank you!
@caseorganic @cyborgcamp @medialab seriously tempting
@caseorganic @cyborgcamp @medialab so how cheap can I get PDX to Boston?
@mulderc @cyborgcamp @medialab Google Flights says $412 roundtrip. If you stay the weekend you could also attend #indiewebcamp at MIT!
@b_dresser @cyborgcamp Hi Bobby, try docs.google.com/forms/d/142leX…. Does that work?
@caseorganic are you Cameron Howe
@caseorganic @cyborgcamp @medialab The form for student scholarships is not working. Can you please let me know when it’s fixed? Thx!
@tomasinsua @cyborgcamp @medialab Very sorry to hear that! Try this? docs.google.com/forms/d/142leX…
It’s free! You can participate as an individual or a team. Breakfast and coffee will be available in the morning, and we’ll head to the food carts for lunch.
The wearable computing hackathon is for those comfortable with soldering and working with electronics.
Though we’ll have a Makey Makey, Lilypad Arduino, some soldering irons and other equipment, this hackathon theme is for those more familiar with electronics that have some of their own equipment. We recommend bringing a soldering iron and some kind of kit or electronic components and breadboards at the very least.
Don’t have your own electronic equipment? Join the Crisis Commons Hackathon! (See details below).
Do you want to help with Sandy response? Come design, code, and learn with other people this weekend at CrisisCamp! CrisisCamps are hosted in a barcamp style where great minds come together to share their knowledge and expertise for social good.
Come prepared:
If you’re a developer, make sure your programs are up to date. Learn how github works. Learn about potential projects at http://www.hurricanehackers.com/projects. There will also be talks by local Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) on how technology can be used (and not) in this situations. If you’re a designer or otherwise, come prepared with ideas and help create usable interfaces!
This event is free and open to the public. You don’t have to be technical to volunteer time. Also, you may show up at anytime during the day for as long as you wish – although obviously we will get the most done with the most people there.

CrisisCamp brings together domain experts, developers, and first responders around improving technology and practice for humanitarian crisis management and disaster relief. Each and every day, people across the world can find themselves in crisis. Whether it be for a day, a month or an area of social distress, we all have a common need to connect with loved ones, access information and offer assistance to others.
Update: due to demand we opened an additional 20 slots!
