More than I imagined!
What a terrific day at the Imagination Center! Such a crowd! Such knowledge and engaging with the crowd by the students. They have so much to be proud of and to show off. The movement around the Center was great. Loved the whole thing. I see a lot of even greater potential for the Center and students. It is off to such a great start in its short existence that things can only get more interesting from here. I am so proud to be associated with it.
Exhibits by the IT students and at other sites around campus were astounding. And they are so excited about what they have accomplished and polished in their presenting that I was impressed. As an alumni, I am truly impressed by how the campus and programs have evolved since my graduation and look forward to even more evolution in the future. Go RIT and Tigers!

Greetings,
Thanks and congratulations to everyone who helped make ImagineRIT in innovation center such a big success today!!I heard dozens of people telling dozens of stories about their experiences of ImagineRIT in the innovation center today: ideas they got from visitors, ideas they gave to visitors, people they met, lessons learned etc.Memories fade FAST. As an experiment I've created a blog called imaginedrit.blogspot.com for sharing and saving observations and memories of of ImagineRIT in the innovation center.Posting to the blog is as easy as emailing imaginedRIT@gmail.com. I've sent this message to all of our exhibitors. But you probably know of others who were involved, or have interesting stories to tell; please pass this message to them too!If you have another place where you are blogging your experiences, you can tell us about them here too.And, everyone: thanks again for making me so proud on my first day in my new job!

Fwd: TEXTILES and TECHNOLOGY
From: Xanthe <xanthe.matychak@gmail.com>
Yesterday we had our 3rd annual Imagine RIT Innovation and Creativity festival with a record breaking 23,000 visitors to campus. Wow. The event was amazing and too much for me to report on in entirety. I do, however, want to give props to one little corner of the Innovation Center that caught my attention.
In a sea of hi-tech games and robots, I really appreciated three textile exhibits. Onewas put on by my students (of course!). Above is a picture of Lauren and Sarah with their concept called RocSmock. It's a retail concept with which they assume that digital textile technology lives in the retail space. This technology allows common folks to design and print their own patterns on fabric. But even more interesting than the technology itself is how Lauren and Sarah have employed it. They propose that locally grown produce can live in the store for sale and consumption but also to serve as inspiration for textile designs. Designing clothes inspired by local produce is a nice way to transfer your values from one aspect of your life to another. More on that later...
Just a stone's throw away from the RocSmock group was textile guru Andrea Handy. Andrea was generously teaching folks how to work this awesome knitting machine. I didn't get the full scoop on this, but I see Andrea later this week so more to come. Here's a pic. Andrea's on the right.
And finally I was just thrilled to see this young woman from the Young Entrepreneurs Academy displaying her quilted saddle blankets. I didn't catch her name, the one seated on the left, but I will and post a link soon. Just in case you know any riders in need of a super hip blanket.
As I said earlier, the entire festival was great and you can read more about it here. But hey, super shout out to this sweet spot of textiles. It warmed my heart.

Re: Fortune Hunter table

Media Note : )I was able to snap tons of pictures and record some videos for the day, capturing a lot of GCCIS and Innovation Center. Let me know where to get the media, and I shall.
ImagineRIT stories --> Fortune Hunter Team : )
Table Talk
Demoing our game, Mathematical Adventure: Fortune Hunter, for XO was extremely helpful for the development process, as well as a fantastic opportunity to network with lots of important people. Our table basically provided us mass user testing all day long and was a great way to gauge people's responses and interests to our mission within both our game and XO free open source software as a whole. Our team piqued the interest of hundreds today as we gave extended talks and demos of our game and other software currently running on the XO. We could have easily sold, on the spot, at least a hundred XOs alone at our table. Among the extended attendees at our booth were many educators and children, who were taken by the concept and hopefully now pursue obtaining XOs for education and/or personal use. We plugged OVC (open video chat) a lot, as well as the RITserver hosting textbooks and FileShare. They all have generated interest for the XO and, believe me, are in high demand. My team did a fantastic job spreading the word; FOSS!
FLOSSing Our Smile : }
Some amazing opportunities for FOSS and for us...
A few important people worth note who had interest in the mission (providing no cost, open source software to those in need) were able to interact with us and the XOs and have decided to help in big ways. A phone developer told us he would love to see our game go multiplatform and come to android and iPhone, and provided us some insight on the best ways to go about that. For now, we'll worry about finishing for XO, but its nice to know that people have a general interest in Fortune Hunter. Early in the afternoon, we began speaking with a woman who only mentioned prior to talking to us that she was 'in the biz'. Afterward, she revealed herself to be the president of a toy and games company, (probably not smart to blog names) having worked for video game companies such as Activision and having personal connections to SONY. She was so very pleased with our work that she offered her company's support to help the FOSS program. In addition to that, she offered us herself as a point of contact to the above-mentioned video game giants. Just goes to show that you never know who's watching and it's always great to take the time to meet people and present yourself.
The next amazing privilege we had was to explain FOSS to an unknown, foreign man who later revealed himself to be the Prime Minister of Kosovo! He was excited for our game and the XOs and is now very interested in bringing them to Kosovo to use in the classrooms. In one fell swoop, doing something as simple as hosting a table at ImagineRIT, we were able to turn the heads of some large figures in the world and we are honored to have such attention to our game and the FOSS program. Who'd have thought, just eight short months ago when we started development on Fortune Hunter, that we'd be afforded such opportunities. IMAGINE the possibilities! (corny, I know)

TEXTILES ROCK!
I really dug the textiles area that emerged by having 3 related exhibits all in one area: RocSmock (digital textiles), Andrea (knitting machine), and the YEP student who made quilted saddle blankets. These things are important to attracting female students.
Here are a few pics:
