A New HOPE 2022 Presentation

I was very happy to attend and present at the first IRL HOPE conference “A New HOPE,” since the advent of COVID-19. On Friday, July 22nd, I presented an updated version of my talk “Designing in Privacy in an Increasingly Public World.” A three-day conference, HOPE stands for “Hackers on Planet Earth” and is sponsored by the security hacker magazine 2600. For the first time, it took place at St. John’s University in Queens this year.

Teaching STEM Club at Unity Prep

Teaching with my colleague Kyle at Unity Prep in Bedford-Stuyvesant and Brownsville neighborhoods of Brooklyn.

Our group of us from our team at Razorfish/Publicis Groupe developed a curriculum to teach at the STEM Club at Unity Preparatory School in Brooklyn, starting mid 2020. Since then, we’ve taught each semester, expanding and developing our curriculum along the way. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed teaching this smart bunch of kids about AR/VR technology, collaborative sketching and user experience design in general.

We began by teaching remotely, so it was a real joy to join them in person this year for the winter session, when we brought in Google cardboard VR kits donated by the good folks at Google and had a great time demonstrating how to use them with the students. Each student got to take a VR kit home, too.
