[iDC] Leonardo Education Forum Events at the CAA, NYC Feb 2007

[Andrea Polli]

I would like to invite IDC list members in the NYC area or those coming to the College Art Association conference this February, including students, to participate in a series of events focused on art, science and technology in higher education at the conference and around the city.  

The LEF sponsors events in conjunction with the CAA and other conferences every year and welcomes ideas, proposals, and participation in planning these projects.

*About the Leonardo Education Forum*

The Leonardo Education Forum (LEF) promotes the advancement of artistic research and academic scholarship at the intersections of art, science, and technology. Serving practitioners, scholars, and students who are members of the Leonardo community, LEF provides a forum for collaboration and exchange with other scholarly communities, including the College Art Association of America (CAA), of which it is an affiliate society.

The Leonardo Education Forum is open to all individuals who are members of Leonardo.
