Design research is another way to empower people to share their stories and experiences with you. It's your job to find the patterns in those stories and to synthesize those patterns into actionable insights. It's easier to get people to talk on a deeper level if you use: - Stickers - Co-design methods - & Ice cream sessions That's the fun stuff\, but we'll also cover generative research methods (such as Contextual Inquiries) and evaluative research methods (such as Think-Aloud Usability Testing). We'll also discuss how these methods of inquiry can be combined with Metrics and Evaluation techniques that go beyond surveys to make sure you're having the impact you want to be having in the world. You'll leave with a toolkit\, an approach to design research that fits into your current process\, some tried-and-true methods\, and a way to create research plans for maximum effectiveness. Open and welcome to all levels of designers\, social entrepreneurs\, radical pedagogists\, and non-profit professionals who are interested in improving the feedback loop with the people they serve.

Have you heard of the term ‘smart city’? Maybe you saw an IBM advertisement about creating a smarter planet\, or maybe your mayor has implemented a smart city digital strategy. Perhaps you heard that TED named ‘The City 2.0’ as the winner of their global award this year\, or then again\, you could be a citizen who has written or used a city-based app for a smart-phone or other device. Whatever your relation with the topic\, it is increasingly obvious that creating a ‘smart city’ \, ‘intelligent city’ or the ‘city 2.0’ is a growing meme for creatives\, government\, urban leaders\, think-tanks\, and technologists. That is why we are gathering you - LA's thinkers\, tinkers and makers to re-imagine LA for the digital age. During the Incubator we will be giving cutting-edge examples from other cities\, and rapidly prototyping (on paper initially - no coding skills required) a series of next-generation solutions aimed at using the technologies of our time to improve our great city and support a high quality of life in the digital age. So join the Smart Cities Incubator on Saturday March 24 at USC Annenberg Innovation Lab (lunch included). Meet other LA innovators and together explore new ideas for making our city an even better place to live\, work\, and play.

Getting involved in Earth Hour is easy Pledge your support Sign-up to participate and turn off all non-essential lights at 8:30 pm your local time: Individuals Business or organization City Spread the word Join the Earth Hour community and help us grow by getting your friends\, colleagues and family to join us too. Meet up with millions of people around the world participating in Earth Hour Join our communities on Meetup or organize an Earth Hour event in your community\, school\, or neighborhood restaurant. Use our tools and downloads Show the world you are participating in Earth Hour with our handy Earth Hour tools and downloads. Why get involved? Our future depends on it.  Across the world\, biodiversity and natural habitats are disappearing at a greater rate than ever before.  We are depleting the earth of wild animals\, water\, wood and other natural resources faster than they can be replenished; polluting and altering natural habitats and changing the entire planet’s climate. Things will only worsen if we continue in the same direction. Earth Hour raises awareness of sustainability issues.  But there’s more to it than switching off lights for one hour once a year.  It’s about giving people a voice and working together to create a better future for our planet. Take this opportunity to send a reminder to our leaders that we need to protect our planet by signing up for Earth Hour. Go beyond the hour by reducing your individual impact on the planet.  The actions you can take are endless and are things you can do every day. ********************** More than 5\,200 cities and towns in 135 countries worldwide switched off their lights for Earth Hour 2011\, sending a powerful message for action on climate change. It also ushered in a new era with members going Beyond the Hour to commit to lasting action for the planet. Without a doubt\, it’s shown how great things can be achieved when people come together for a common cause.   LOCATION:Everywhere, CA, United States URL:http://thehubla.com/event/earth-hour-2012/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20120315 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20120317 DTSTAMP:20120518T163555 CREATED:20120306T120635 LAST-MODIFIED:20120306T120635 UID:2968@http://thehubla.com SUMMARY:Good Jobs, Green Jobs Los Angeles DESCRIPTION:http://www.greenjobsconference.org/los-angeles How are transit systems and high-speed rail in California creating good jobs and a cleaner environment?

Parking can not be validated inside HMC's building. Sneak preview of the film at: http://www.cityworkscampaign.org/our-next-event.html Synopsis Long before Los Angeles's contribution to modern culture became widely recognized\, British architectural historian Reyner Banham proclaimed it one of the world's great cities. Banham's influential yet controversial book Los Angeles: The Architecture of Four Ecologies (1971) saw beauty in the city's sprawling layout and car-based urbanism. Shortly after the book's publication\, the BBC documented Banham's vision of Los Angeles for an episode of its series One Pair of Eyes. The documentary takes the viewer on a tongue-in-cheek tour of the city's cultural landscape. The trip includes stops at iconic landmarks such as Watts Towers and the Lovell "Health" House designed by Richard Neutra\, as well as mini-malls\, drive-thrus\, and strip clubs. The film documents a city situated at the divide between the modern era's clean lines and faith in progress-as captured in the work of architectural photographer Julius Shulman-and what has been described as Banham's "Pop Art" view\, with its sparkle-front houses\, Tiki huts\, and jarring juxtapositions.

Sixty-five years later their story has finally been told through LeAnn Erickson's documentary Top Secret Rosies. In early December 1941\, Betty Jean Jennings was a freshman completing her first semester at a rural Missouri college. In Philadelphia\, Doris and Shirley Blumberg were seniors at Girl’s High and Marlyn Wescoff was completing a minor in business machines at Temple University. In an era of limited career opportunities for women\, these bright students anticipated low paying careers as schoolteachers or bookkeepers. But on Sunday\, December 7\, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and changed these young women’s lives forever. With Pearl Harbor suddenly drawing the US in to WWII\, the Army launched a frantic national search for women mathematicians. The women of Top Secret Rosies were plucked from high schools and colleges to work at the University of Pennsylvania in the 1940s. They moved into dorms and apartments and went through a rigorous introduction to ballistics calculations in order to do the job. It paid well\, and the women were close. They played bridge\, shared dinners and danced together in the university gardens when the war in Europe ended. Still\, they struggled with the knowledge that their calculations -- so precise they measured whether an enemy soldier was standing up or lying in a trench -- were used at war.

In this workshop\, we will use the tools of magic\, meditation\, trance\, and ritual to explore issues of personal and social power. We'll look at ways to create nurturing and healing group structures\, to deal with difficult people and embrace constructive conflict. We'll raise and focus group energy to celebrate our connectedness and nurture resilient communities that can be joyful and effective agents of change.

SOMETHING VENTURED tells the story of the creation of an industry that went on to become the single greatest engine of innovation and economic growth in the 20th century. It is told by the visionary risk-takers who dared to make it happen…Tom Perkins\, Don Valentine\, Arthur Rock\, Dick Kramlich and others. The film also includes some of our finest entrepreneurs sharing how they worked with these venture capitalists to grow world-class companies like Intel\, Apple\, Cisco\, Atari\, Genentech\, Tandem and others. Beginning in the late 1950′s\, this small group of high rollers fostered a one-of-a-kind business culture that encouraged extraordinary risk and made possible unprecedented rewards. They laid the groundwork for America’s start-up economy\, providing not just the working capital but the guidance to allow seedling companies to reach their full potential. Our lives would be dramatically different without the contributions that these venture capitalists made to the creation of PCs\, the Internet and life-saving drugs. SOMETHING VENTURED was conceived by Paul Holland\, a Silicon Valley venture capitalist. Paul\, a general partner with Foundation Capital\, is co-executive producer of the film along with Molly Davis of Rainmaker Communications. The film was directed by Emmy-Award-winning filmmakers Dan Geller and Dayna Goldfine.

Entrepreneurs in the "New Normal" economy face a challenging environment: with less equity funding available they have to execute better and be more capital efficient than five years ago when investment dollars were flowing more freely. Finding the right team and financial backers are even more critical in an economy where Venture Capital and Angel group financing are harder than ever to find. However\, a new phenomena is emerging: individuals\, (often successful serial entrepreneurs)\, are investing as "Super Angels" and contributing money\, hands on assistance and domain expertise to early stage companies. This event will examine the best way to finance an early stage company in the new environment\, and focus on "Super Angels". How do entrepreneurs find "Super Angels" and work with them once they do? Is the Super Angel model competitive or complementary with traditional investment sources? This event will feature presentations and a panel discussion made up of Super Angel investors and a Venture Capitalist to examine this new trend\, new financing models\, and advice on reaching and working with the right investors. There will also be networking time to meet both entrepreneurs and investors.

Click here to register. From the website: With 1-in-4 Americans under the age of 21\, youth are our country’s largest population group. At their fingertips\, kids have the same tools as their adult-counterparts to “activate” themselves as agents of change\, and many have been personally responsible for raising tens of thousands and even hundreds of thousands of dollars for a cause or charity. At the same time\, 1-in-7 parents attempt to ban their kids from using online social media — which creates digital divides\, and silences youth voice. Youthologist\, Lee Fox will moderate a panel of young social entrepreneurs who have used social media to find their voice and bring awareness to teen issues such as bullying\, dating violence and cyber-abuse. Special guest\, 16 year old singer / songwriter Kylie Morgan\, will share how her use of social technologies earned her the honor of becoming a key spokesperson for non-profit\, PACER.org\, a national leader in the anti-bullying effort.  Additionally\, Kylie will perform her song\, “Phoebe” — a piece written to remind everyone that “it matters what we do” and take a stand against bullying. The youth panel will share how they have been able to safely amplify their voices and position how parents and educators can empower kids to lead efforts online aimed at social good.

Click here to register. Following info provided by Social Media Week Los Angeles: At the Sustainability 2.0 event we will discuss how social media can motivate sustainability decisions – both decisions by individuals and decisions by companies. This will be an interactive panel discussion from 3-5 followed by a networking reception. About Sustainability 2.0 Polls tell us that people want to buy ‘green’ products and are willing to pay more for it – but when push comes to shove – most people don’t. But we know there are growing environmental problems that we need to solve. The changing climate\, increasing air and water pollution\, rising energy prices\, and ongoing water supply problems are all driven by choices that people make. It doesn’t matter what you buy – cars\, cosmetics\, electronics and food all impact the environment – they all impact the environment. What does matter is how much you use – especially energy & water – and how much you waste. These have large impacts and global implications. With social media\, consumers have more power to affect change in companies than ever before. This panel will highlight the following: How do we connect the dots? Do informed consumers make more sustainable choices? How does social media influence consumer behavior and get people to demand more sustainable choices? How will companies respond?

Register on EventBrite Theme: Food & Nutrition (list of nouns & concepts coming soon) Speaker on Food & Nutrition: Amanda Shaffer\, Urban & Environmental Policy Institute\, Occidental College Collaborators:  City Innovation Group  In August & September 2011\, several cities across the US will participate in a series of design charrettes — day-long collaborative workshops — called “Iconathons”. Through facilitated design sessions\, event participants will generate icons and symbols that visually convey concepts frequently needed in civic design. The aim of Iconathon is to add to the public domain a set of graphic symbols that can be used by both the public and the private sectors to easily communicate universally recognized concepts to city inhabitants. Each participating city will have a topic and a set of about 30-50 civic concepts to choose from to design. For example\, participants can modernize icons such as ‘family’ to reflect the makeup of modern families\, create icons for new civic services like 311 (symbols for ‘potholes’ and ‘graffitti’) and icons for community spaces (‘local’\, ‘community meeting\,’ ‘community news.’) With America being in the midst of a fast-paced demographic shift\, and US census showing growing diversity\, the government has a new challenge of quickly and efficiently communicating its services to a constantly evolving constituent base made of different cultures\, ages\, religions\, and languages. Symbols serve as an integral part of overcoming this communication barrier\, and are already widely used throughout various public spaces to represent objects and ideas within education\, health care\, transportation\, and recreation. The symbols created as part of the Iconathon can be used in new civic web applications\, in printed materials and in public signage. Iconathon events will include design charrettes\, design workshops and networking opportunities for local designers\, urban planners\, city staffers and developers who are passionate about civic design. Participants will sketch ideas and concepts during the events\, and refine them from their home or design studios while continuing the collaboration process through social media. Each group working on a symbol concept may also be matched with a respected designer to get feedback on their designs. All designs will be submitted to The Noun Project\, which will curate them based on technical and stylistic guidelines. A series of blog posts will follow events in each city. For more information and updates Email us at iconathon@codeforamerica.org Follow @iconathon on Twitter Visit our website http://iconathon.org About The Noun Project The Noun Project (thenounproject.com) is a free\, easy to use online collection of the symbols and icons that form the world’s visual language. Their mission is to share\, celebrate and enhance this visual language.  A lot of the icons already available on their site are from existing public domain symbol sets currently in use in the public sector. On Twitter: @nounproject About Code for America Code for America is a non-profit organization that pairs passionate web talent with city governments to make government more open\, efficient\, participatory and civicly engaged. The fellows are already frequently referring to the resources of The Noun Project\, and seek to contribute and augment the municipal icon collection in a way that benefits everyone.

"...Everyone's a part of the family -- until they're not" Inspired by Anton Chekov's classic play The Cherry Orchard\, this new work by local playwright Dorothy Fortenberry juxtaposes Mexican folk tales with contemporary rural life at a family-owned Mendocino County winery. When money troubles threaten the estate\, the aging hippie owner\, his two daughters\, and the Mexican mother and son who live and work with them must face the long-ignored complications of their relationships to the land and to each other. Touching on class\, land\, power\, immigration\, wealth and its disappearance with a nuanced and comic view of liberal political culture and attitudes\, borders dissolve\, generations clash\, and the story of a family reflects the fortunes of the nation. This reading is directed by Becca Wolf. Species Native to California was developed during a residency at Old Growth Arts in Sonoma County\, and was read as part of the Youngblood New Blood series in NYC and recently at Theatricum Botanicum as part of their GreenRead series.

Directly from their Eventbrite page: "Difficult as it is for many people to believe\, the Los Angeles River was once a very real flowing river\, along the banks of which the city was founded. In 1781\, 44 people (Los Pobladores) traveled from Sonora\, Mexico to settle along its West bank. For more than 100 years\, this 51 mile long river was the sole source of water for the city that grew around it. Have you ever really seen the LA River? Do you ACTUALLY know anything about it? Sure\, maybe you've passed a concrete slab with an LA River sign... but do you know the *true* stories of the river's past and present beyond the fictional details you remember from seeing the movie Chinatown? And what about its future? Everyone may think they know what the LA River is\, and many have heard that it's being revitalized. But who knows where and what exactly is happening along its banks? There's much more to the story than meets the eye as you pass from a speeding car while commuting. So join us as we walk and drive along the river\, to talk about its central role in the city's history and the necessity of the ambitious revitalization projects to LA's future. The tour convenes at the Los Angeles River Center & Gardens (570 W Ave. 26\, near the 5/110 - DIRECTIONS HERE) where we form carpools\, and stops at the verdant Glendale Narrows\, Marsh Park\, the historic Arroyo Seco confluence and then we'll stop for lunch in Boyle Heights en route (with a visit to the awesome Libros Schmibros lending library just for fun!). After lunch\, we'll head for the industrial downtown stretch that everyone's seen in movies and on TV.

The John Burton Foundation's Homeless Youth Capacity Building Project is pleased to present an interactive training on the Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) model of evaluation.

Learning objectives for this training include: Learn the elements of CQI and how it can impact an organization Learn about the Plan/Do/Check/Act cycle Learn how to identify elements to measure and tools for measuring Learn how to create teams to take on responsibility for assessment and improvement This training will combine presentation of information with opportunities for active participation.
