About the Barnraising
The Public Lab Annual Barnraising is the closest thing we have to a Public Lab conference -- but with an emphasis on "doing stuff together." It is an unparalleled, high bandwidth event where people from different regions exchange hard-won technical knowledge, tactics, and stories in person. At the Annual Barnraising, participants will:
- Improve social ties through in-person collaboration,
- Participate in in-depth exploration of local environmental issues and ongoing community research,
- Advance technical knowledge, and
- Work on projects such as environmental hardware and software prototyping.

Horizontalism! What is it? Delight and horizontal collaboration are strategies often overlooked when designers (or makers, take your pic!) try to bring innovation to dire civic problems such as environmental issues. During the Barnraising I wish to collaborate on about decolonizing making at the very early stages. Also collaboratively explore how to build projects where design avoids being complicit with structural inequalities by embracing horizontalism.
First contact and newcomer engagement brainstorm: Activities, Q&A, outreach, etc etc

This box will be monitored throughout the event and can also be used to let us know if you need us to check on an anonymous online submission sooner.
