Look at What the DML Winners Are Up To!

Check out the Digital Media and Learning Competition winners' blog tosee what these 17 great projects are up to . . . A new Competition willbe announced in late August. For a glimpse of some participatorylearning in action, check this out now:http://www.dmlcompetition.net/blog/. Our image above is from the Sustainable South Bronx Fab Lab, an incredible project that takes the garbage (literally) that Manhattan dumps in the South Bronx and uses digital fabrication methods to teach kids and adults computer skills, to build community pride, to teach collaborative methods, and to make goods that can then be sold to go back into sustaining the project and the learning community formed around it. Talk about turning lemons into lemonade! Here's a sampling from the Winners blog and, again, here's the url: http://www.dmlcompetition.net/blog/.
