At the MediaLab

I’ve just seen so much creativity and talent today at the open house #MediaLabIO. Amazing. So much cool stuff.

But probably the coolest are the ideas of Joi Ito to transform the MediaLab with an amazing set of principles:

  • Resilience instead of strength,
  • pull instead of push,
  • portfolios instead of planning,
  • systems instead of objects,
  • compasses instead of maps,
  • practice instead of theory,
  • encourage rebellion instead of compliance,
  • smart crowds instead of experts,
  • constant learning instead of education.

We would sign up that manifesto in a nanosecond.
Among all of the creations, see the fun makey makey. My kids will love it.
