FW: MIT Media Lab IDEAS Institute

Dear weblabs friends,

this is information from Mitch Resnik about  a week-long event
 at Media Lab for educators working with low-income communities.
It would be nice if you find some of your colleagues appropriate for this
event.
Thanks a lot: Jenny


Hi Jenny. For the IDEAS Institute, we are certainly interested in educators
from all over the world. But we are interested in practicing professionals,
working in communities,
