SEE EVENT DETAILS
The Interval at Long Now welcomesDavid Lang (founder OpenROV, author of Zero to Maker)
Citizen Science: How It Works, Why It's Important, and Where It Might Take Us
Check-in begins 6:30pm; talk will start 7:30pm sharpat The Interval at Long Now
As co-founder of the underwater robot maker OpenROV, David Lang can report from the front lines of the growing citizen science movement. His products enable a community of citizen ocean explorers, just as many other amateur enthuiasts around the globe use unprecedentedly powerful, cheap technologies (and the scientific method) to explore the natural world
.
He will give us a hands-on tour of his company’s soon to be released model Trident (shown above) which was funded via Kickstarter. Long Now’s Stewart Brand will host and talk with David onstage.
David Lang is an inspiration to anyone who has dreamed of making, but has been hesitant to start because they feel they don't have the necessary skills. As David will show you, all it takes is curiosity, passion, and a willingness to learn from your mistakes.—Mark Frauenfelder, Editor-in-Chief, MAKE Magazine
