(Super)HeroCamp

When? August 20 - August 24, 2008

Where? Vancouver, BC Canada (maybe at Workspace?)

What? Organizing a camp for (super)heroes is no small feat, but someone needs to do it. It will be a gathering of heroes, sharing their heroic acts and pitching their desire to collaborate with other heroes on future heroic acts. Heroic acts include, but are not limited to, creating stuff that changes the world, empowers the disempowered, creates world peace, saves the planet, makes people happy, and makes a real difference in your local community.

We plan to launch a project at the end of the 4-5 day schedule of intensive brainstorming and planning. The ideas launched will have to be simply executable by a wider network of (Super)Heroes that couldn't be there to plan it. For the first 2 days, we brainstorm, dream, map out and scribble. For the last 2-3 days, we create materials, plans and websites so that we can launch a beta soon afterwards.

The BIG Idea We've picked Education as the over-arching issue to look at this year. (every year the big idea will change)

The smaller ideas What would it look like if we brought the structure of BarCamp into schools? What about a social network for students, teachers and parents where parents could make sure they could keep up with their kids' curriculum, teachers could understand a little more about a student's home situation and students could communicate more on the level that they understand?

Who? There are many (super)heroes out there. You should come.
