Welcoming our Community Partners

Our class is on zoom today where we will hear from our THREE potential community partners for this capstone year. We have hand picked these community partners because each partner is open to collaboration. There is no fixed project outcome. These partners embrace the challenge of co-creation and agreed to the process of conceiving, designing, building, and launching a project by May!

Please ZOOM (Use this link to Join our Zoom Meetings
Meeting ID: 961 4568 2000) on time. Our first speaker will start promptly. You will hear from:

  • RCDS Northwest Middle School Media Center Spokesperson and librarian, Deb Ortenzi and principal Rodney Moore
  • The Adirondack Council’s Clean Water Expert, Blake Neumann
  • The UR Health Lab’s Assistant Director Meghan Plate and members of her team

Once they have pitched, we will save plenty of time to ask them questions.  We look forward to seeing you on zoom.

5 Clarifications.

Steph and Nancy’s TOP Five things that need clarified:

  1. Complete the readings in Module 1 for Thursday so we are all on the same page about HCD and problem statements. This is all you need to do for next class.
  2. The community partnerships: Options for your capstone year would be to join a community partnership (if you are so inspired) and work with one of our partners after you hear their pitch Thursday –or- you can design your own capstone and present a problem you want to share with the class on Tuesday 9/13.
  3. Another question arose about the voice thread assignment. It did not require audio or video – it was a chance for you to showcase your skills and a way for us to get to know each other.
  4. Let Nancy AND I know if you have questions by emailing us both!
  5. NEXT CLASS is on ZOOM!

A reminder to please complete the following for Tuesday:
