- 6:30pm until 9:30pm
- Come by and meet April's Awesome Foundation Boston Fellow - MIT Media Lab’s Jeffrey Yoo Warren!
Jeff is using his fellowship to pursue his projects into Grassroots Mapping, a series of experiments that launch low-cost community satellites built from balloons, kites, and ...inexpensive digital cameras to create gorgeous aerial maps that have more than 100 times the resolution than those offered by Google.
The idea is to broadly democratize the technology for mapping, and help communities understand the landscape around them. Their latest, an ambitious idea to track the spread of the Gulf oil spill by engaging local communities on the coastline, is seriously amazing. The data will be released into the public domain, where it will assist legal and environmental efforts in the years to come.
In other words, it completely rocks.
UPDATE:
Around 8:30p, the discussion & beverages will move next door to Cantina La Mexicana (247 Washington Street, Somerville, MA)See More
