We have two special events Wednesday 8/20 that will interest many in CSE.
Johnny Lee will be our DUB speaker. He’s done many things, but is
currently the lead for Google’s Project Tango. He’ll be giving a talk
on “Conceive, Choose, Create, Communicate” and bringing a Project
Tango demo. Additional info below, including a request to RSVP for
help in coordinating our food order.
Immediately following, we will have poster sessions and presentations
for capstone projects from this year’s MHCI+D students. These 30
interdisciplinary students have been doing great stuff, and these
group capstones are the culmination of their degrees. Please join us.

Speaker: Johnny Lee, Google
Title: Conceive, Choose, Create, Communicate
Abstract:
Over the past 10 years, I have been fortunate enough to witness the
life cycle of successful projects on multiple occasions at vastly
different scales, from personal research to large scale commercial
products. I would like to share my observations of the skills of the
individuals that helped make these efforts successful. It is my hope
that this talk may be helpful to students who have not yet figured out
their own identity as researchers, engineers, designers, or artists as
you decide how to invest your time in the coming years.
