** update**
Almost ready to go! Please let us know if you registered but cannot attend. We have a hearty waitlist and I'm sure some Nature Nerd would appreciate your spot!
Otherwise, see you soon!
**************
Are you a coder or designer, but also a fan of the great outdoors?
Are you an environmentalist wondering what to do with your mountains of data, or how to use technology to innovate?
If so, or if you're somewhere in between, join us for an interactive, social launch party full of baked goods and interesting people sharing ideas for what creative tech and design can do for the environmental movement.
We'll feature several lightning presentations by nerds and nature folk alike, and invite attendees to help us envision this year's upcoming workshops and make-and-do events.
Nerds for Nature is a new group whose mission is to bring together technologists and environmental professionals to collaboratively build awesome tools to understand, protect, and revive the natural world.
What ideas might you come up with?
The event is free but please RSVP so we can plan for light food & refreshments!
Talks by:
- Ken-ichi Ueda, creator of the iNaturalist.org citizen science platform
- Stanley Jones of Diligent Creative, who helped Oil Change International make energy finance data more accessible
- Carl DiSalvo, (in town from Georgia Tech in Atlanta!) will inspire us about the potentials of participatory design and the intersection of hardware and food systems.
- and more!
NOTE: Please sign up for the waiting list, even if the early tickets sold out!

And finally, thanks, sponsors!
